What Are KA121 & KA122 Mobility Programs 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 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 Poland: we source hosts in it & technology, business services, engineering & manufacturing and logistics & trade, manage accommodation, run the logistics and provide audit-ready closure for the Beneficiary Module.

What's Included

Host sourcing
In Poland this stage flows through our Warsaw regional team covering it & technology hosts, so timelines stay aligned with the learning agreement. Companies in it & technology, business services, engineering & manufacturing matched to learners' profiles, plus institutional hosts for staff flows.
Group accommodation
Built around Poland's it & technology host expectations from Warsaw outward and the regional cost band so budgets stay predictable. Bulk-friendly accommodation (residences, group apartments) near workplaces in Poland.
Insurance & liability
Within Poland's it & technology network around Warsaw, this layer is delivered by the same team that vets hosts and signs the agreements. Travel, medical and civil-liability for both learners and staff for the full mobility window.
Operational coordination
Mapped to how Poland employers in it & technology — from Warsaw onward — actually onboard interns, not to a one-size-fits-all checklist. Airport pickup, induction, weekly attendance, mid-term and final evaluations.
Beneficiary Module closure
Across Poland's it & technology corridor anchored in Warsaw, our local desk runs this step end-to-end so the sending school never chases vendors. Mobility tool exports, Europass certificates, host evaluations — audit-ready.
