What Is Job Shadowing in Poland?
Poland's fast-growing economy, affordable cost of living, and diverse industry landscape make it an excellent value-for-money Erasmus+ destination. Concrete reasons institutions choose Poland for Job Shadowing & Internship Hosting. Job shadowing in Poland is a structured Erasmus+ KA1 staff-mobility format where teachers, trainers or administrative staff observe peers at a host organisation in Poland. It is typically 3 to 14 days. Piktalent acts as the local intermediary: we match staff with institutional hosts in it & technology, business services, engineering & manufacturing and logistics & trade, 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.
