What Are KA121 & KA122 Mobility Programs in Slovakia?
Slovakia's automotive industry and emerging startup ecosystem offer practical VET and HEI placements at an affordable cost. Concrete reasons institutions choose Slovakia 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 Slovakia: we source hosts in automotive & engineering, it & shared services and business & administration, manage accommodation, run the logistics and provide audit-ready closure for the Beneficiary Module.

What's Included

Host sourcing
Across Slovakia's automotive & engineering corridor anchored in Bratislava, our local desk runs this step end-to-end so the sending school never chases vendors. Companies in automotive & engineering, it & shared services, business & administration matched to learners' profiles, plus institutional hosts for staff flows.
Group accommodation
Coordinators based in Bratislava, Slovakia make this concrete for every automotive & engineering cohort, with named contacts on both sides. Bulk-friendly accommodation (residences, group apartments) near workplaces in Slovakia.
Insurance & liability
In Slovakia this stage flows through our Bratislava regional team covering automotive & engineering 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 Slovakia's automotive & engineering host expectations from Bratislava outward and the regional cost band so budgets stay predictable. Airport pickup, induction, weekly attendance, mid-term and final evaluations.
Beneficiary Module closure
Within Slovakia's automotive & engineering network around Bratislava, this layer is delivered by the same team that vets hosts and signs the agreements. Mobility tool exports, Europass certificates, host evaluations — audit-ready.
