What Are KA121 & KA122 Mobility Programs in Netherlands?
One of Europe's most international work environments with near-universal English proficiency and 150+ partner companies across key Dutch cities. Concrete reasons institutions choose Netherlands 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 Netherlands: we source hosts in technology & innovation, logistics & trade, finance & fintech and marketing & creative, manage accommodation, run the logistics and provide audit-ready closure for the Beneficiary Module.

Who This Program Is For
Accredited organisations (KA121)
KA121/122 groups arriving in Netherlands can scale up to 25–40 participants — Piktalent's local partners in technology & innovation, logistics & trade, finance & fintech run parallel non-formal tracks so consortia don't have to split the cohort across cities.
Non-accredited senders (KA122)
Short-term group flows up to 30 days — internships, job shadowing or training.
Consortia & National Agencies
Pooled group mobility across multiple sending institutions under one lead.
Adult & VET providers
Mixed flows combining trainee placements and staff capacity building.
What's Included
Every programme includes comprehensive services managed end-to-end by Piktalent.
Host sourcing
Across Netherlands's technology & innovation corridor anchored in Amsterdam, our local desk runs this step end-to-end so the sending school never chases vendors. Companies in technology & innovation, logistics & trade, finance & fintech matched to learners' profiles, plus institutional hosts for staff flows.
Group accommodation
Coordinators based in Amsterdam, Netherlands make this concrete for every technology & innovation cohort, with named contacts on both sides. Bulk-friendly accommodation (residences, group apartments) near workplaces in Netherlands.
Insurance & liability
In Netherlands this stage flows through our Amsterdam regional team covering technology & innovation 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 Netherlands's technology & innovation host expectations from Amsterdam outward and the regional cost band so budgets stay predictable. Airport pickup, induction, weekly attendance, mid-term and final evaluations.
Beneficiary Module closure
Within Netherlands's technology & innovation network around Amsterdam, this layer is delivered by the same team that vets hosts and signs the agreements. Mobility tool exports, Europass certificates, host evaluations — audit-ready.
