What Are KA121 & KA122 Mobility Programs in Finland?
Finland's world-class education system and innovation culture offer exceptional Erasmus+ placements in tech, clean energy, and forestry. Concrete reasons institutions choose Finland 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 Finland: we source hosts in technology & gaming, clean energy & forestry, design & innovation and education & research, manage accommodation, run the logistics and provide audit-ready closure for the Beneficiary Module.

What's Included
Every programme includes comprehensive services managed end-to-end by Piktalent.
Host sourcing
Across Finland's technology & gaming corridor anchored in Helsinki, our local desk runs this step end-to-end so the sending school never chases vendors. Companies in technology & gaming, clean energy & forestry, design & innovation matched to learners' profiles, plus institutional hosts for staff flows.
Group accommodation
Coordinators based in Helsinki, Finland make this concrete for every technology & gaming cohort, with named contacts on both sides. Bulk-friendly accommodation (residences, group apartments) near workplaces in Finland.
Insurance & liability
In Finland this stage flows through our Helsinki regional team covering technology & gaming hosts, so timelines stay aligned with the learning agreement. Travel, medical and civil-liability for both learners and staff for the full mobility window.
Operational coordination
Built around Finland's technology & gaming host expectations from Helsinki outward and the regional cost band so budgets stay predictable. Airport pickup, induction, weekly attendance, mid-term and final evaluations.
Beneficiary Module closure
Within Finland's technology & gaming network around Helsinki, this layer is delivered by the same team that vets hosts and signs the agreements. Mobility tool exports, Europass certificates, host evaluations — audit-ready.
