What Are VET Internships in Slovenia?
Slovenia's green, compact geography and growing economy offer quality Erasmus+ placements between the Alps and the Adriatic. Concrete reasons institutions choose Slovenia for VET Internship Programs. VET internships in Slovenia are short, supervised work placements in real companies for vocational students, funded under Erasmus+ KA1 (KA121 / KA122). Piktalent acts as the local intermediary in Slovenia: we source and vet host companies in green economy & sustainability, tourism & hospitality and business & logistics, arrange safe accommodation near the workplace, run the airport pickup and induction, and provide a 24/7 in-country support line throughout the placement. Each cohort closes with Europass Mobility certificates and ECVET-aligned host evaluations for the sending school.

Who This Program Is For
Vocational secondary schools
Schools sending compact VET cohorts to Slovenia get a single account manager from quote to certificate — Piktalent groups host applications by sector (green economy & sustainability, tourism & hospitality, business & logistics) and runs daily standups during the first week.
VET colleges & post-secondary providers
Agencies that diversify into Slovenia get a project bundle: a country brief, a green economy & sustainability, tourism & hospitality, business & logistics host shortlist and a 12-week prep timeline shared with the consortium upfront.
ErasmusPro long-term groups
3–12 month placements for advanced VET learners under ErasmusPro.
National Agencies & consortia
Pooled cohorts across multiple sending schools, managed under one operational lead.
What's Included
Every programme includes comprehensive services managed end-to-end by Piktalent.
Sector-matched host companies
Coordinators based in Ljubljana, Slovenia make this concrete for every green economy & sustainability cohort, with named contacts on both sides. Companies in green economy & sustainability, tourism & hospitality, business & logistics vetted for workplace safety, mentoring capacity and Erasmus+ compliance.
Inspected accommodation
In Slovenia this stage flows through our Ljubljana regional team covering green economy & sustainability hosts, so timelines stay aligned with the learning agreement. Student residences or shared apartments near the workplace, with move-in instructions sent before departure.
Insurance & liability coverage
Built around Slovenia's green economy & sustainability host expectations from Ljubljana outward and the regional cost band so budgets stay predictable. Travel, medical and civil-liability insurance for the full mobility period.
24/7 in-country support
Within Slovenia's green economy & sustainability network around Ljubljana, this layer is delivered by the same team that vets hosts and signs the agreements. A dedicated coordinator in Slovenia plus a 24/7 emergency line throughout the placement.
Audit-ready closure pack
Mapped to how Slovenia employers in green economy & sustainability — from Ljubljana onward — actually onboard interns, not to a one-size-fits-all checklist. Europass Mobility certificate, attendance log, host-company evaluation and Beneficiary Module documentation.
