What Is Job Shadowing in Greece?
Greece offers exceptional hospitality and tourism placements in a Mediterranean setting, with 100+ partner companies across the mainland and islands. Concrete reasons institutions choose Greece for Job Shadowing & Internship Hosting. Job shadowing in Greece is a structured Erasmus+ KA1 staff-mobility format where teachers, trainers or administrative staff observe peers at a host organisation in Greece. It is typically 3 to 14 days. Piktalent acts as the local intermediary: we match staff with institutional hosts in hospitality & tourism, business & administration, culture & heritage and tech & startups, brief the host on the observation focus, organise accommodation and insurance, and provide on-the-ground support. We also host your students for internships, so a single contract covers both your staff and learner flows.

Coordinators based in Athens, Greece make this concrete for every hospitality & tourism cohort, with named contacts on both sides. Schools, training centres and companies in hospitality & tourism, business & administration, culture & heritage matched to your observation focus.
Inspected accommodation
In Greece this stage flows through our Athens regional team covering hospitality & tourism hosts, so timelines stay aligned with the learning agreement. Hotels or vetted apartments near the host site in Greece.
Insurance & liability
Built around Greece's hospitality & tourism host expectations from Athens outward and the regional cost band so budgets stay predictable. Travel, medical and civil-liability coverage for the full mobility window.
Observation programme
Within Greece's hospitality & tourism network around Athens, this layer is delivered by the same team that vets hosts and signs the agreements. Day-by-day schedule co-designed with the host so the visit produces concrete outcomes.
Closure documentation
Mapped to how Greece employers in hospitality & tourism — from Athens onward — actually onboard interns, not to a one-size-fits-all checklist. Europass Mobility certificate, host evaluation and observation report for KA1 reporting.
