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

Across Romania's it & software corridor anchored in Bucharest, our local desk runs this step end-to-end so the sending school never chases vendors. Bulk-friendly accommodation (residences, group apartments) near workplaces in Romania.
Insurance & liability
Coordinators based in Bucharest, Romania make this concrete for every it & software cohort, with named contacts on both sides. Travel, medical and civil-liability for both learners and staff for the full mobility window.
Operational coordination
In Romania this stage flows through our Bucharest regional team covering it & software hosts, so timelines stay aligned with the learning agreement. Airport pickup, induction, weekly attendance, mid-term and final evaluations.
Beneficiary Module closure
Built around Romania's it & software host expectations from Bucharest outward and the regional cost band so budgets stay predictable. Mobility tool exports, Europass certificates, host evaluations — audit-ready.
