What Is Job Shadowing in Romania?
Romania's rapidly growing IT sector and one of Europe's largest talent pools make it an increasingly popular Erasmus+ destination. Concrete reasons institutions choose Romania for Job Shadowing & Internship Hosting. Job shadowing in Romania is a structured Erasmus+ KA1 staff-mobility format where teachers, trainers or administrative staff observe peers at a host organisation in Romania. It is typically 3 to 14 days. Piktalent acts as the local intermediary: we match staff with institutional hosts in it & software, business services and engineering, 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.
