What Are KA121 & KA122 Mobility Programs in Estonia?
Estonia's world-leading digital infrastructure and startup ecosystem offer unique Erasmus+ placements in tech, e-governance, and innovation. Concrete reasons institutions choose Estonia for KA121 & KA122 Mobility & Internships. KA121 and KA122 are the Erasmus+ actions that fund group mobility for schools, VET providers and adult-education centres. KA121 supports accredited organisations with a multi-year plan; KA122 is the short-term flow for non-accredited senders. Both fund student internships and staff training (including job shadowing). Piktalent acts as the local intermediary in Estonia: we source hosts in tech & startups, e-governance & digital and business & innovation, manage accommodation, run the logistics and provide audit-ready closure for the Beneficiary Module.

Host sourcing
Mapped to how Estonia employers in tech & startups — from Tallinn onward — actually onboard interns, not to a one-size-fits-all checklist. Companies in tech & startups, e-governance & digital, business & innovation matched to learners' profiles, plus institutional hosts for staff flows.
Group accommodation
Across Estonia's tech & startups corridor anchored in Tallinn, our local desk runs this step end-to-end so the sending school never chases vendors. Bulk-friendly accommodation (residences, group apartments) near workplaces in Estonia.
Insurance & liability
Coordinators based in Tallinn, Estonia make this concrete for every tech & startups cohort, with named contacts on both sides. Travel, medical and civil-liability for both learners and staff for the full mobility window.
Operational coordination
In Estonia this stage flows through our Tallinn regional team covering tech & startups hosts, so timelines stay aligned with the learning agreement. Airport pickup, induction, weekly attendance, mid-term and final evaluations.
Beneficiary Module closure
Built around Estonia's tech & startups host expectations from Tallinn outward and the regional cost band so budgets stay predictable. Mobility tool exports, Europass certificates, host evaluations — audit-ready.
