What Is Job Shadowing in Hungary?
Hungary's vibrant capital Budapest and affordable cost of living make it an attractive Erasmus+ destination with diverse placement opportunities. Concrete reasons institutions choose Hungary for Job Shadowing & Internship Hosting. Job shadowing in Hungary is a structured Erasmus+ KA1 staff-mobility format where teachers, trainers or administrative staff observe peers at a host organisation in Hungary. It is typically 3 to 14 days. Piktalent acts as the local intermediary: we match staff with institutional hosts in business & shared services, it & technology and tourism & hospitality, 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.
