What Is Job Shadowing in Spain?
Spain is Piktalent's largest and most established destination, with a network of 800+ verified host companies across 15+ cities — from Seville's business hubs to Barcelona's tech ecosystem. Concrete reasons institutions choose Spain for Job Shadowing & Internship Hosting. Job shadowing in Spain is a structured Erasmus+ KA1 staff-mobility format where teachers, trainers or administrative staff observe peers at a host organisation in Spain. It is typically 3 to 14 days. Piktalent acts as the local intermediary: we match staff with institutional hosts in business & administration, hospitality & tourism, it & technology and education & teaching, 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.

Who This Program Is For
Teachers & trainers
Staff job-shadowing weeks in Spain cycle through several host institutions per cohort — Piktalent times visits to business & administration, hospitality & tourism, it & technology centres so each observer collects comparable evidence inside one mobility window.
School leadership & coordinators
Strategic visits to inspect partner operations, internationalisation or quality systems.
VET & sector trainers
Industry-host observation in business & administration, hospitality & tourism, it & technology to refresh sectoral curriculum.
Erasmus+ coordinators
Operational visits to peer accredited organisations to align processes.
What's Included
Every programme includes comprehensive services managed end-to-end by Piktalent.
Vetted institutional hosts
Mapped to how Spain employers in business & administration — from Seville onward — actually onboard interns, not to a one-size-fits-all checklist. Schools, training centres and companies in business & administration, hospitality & tourism, it & technology matched to your observation focus.
Inspected accommodation
Across Spain's business & administration corridor anchored in Seville, our local desk runs this step end-to-end so the sending school never chases vendors. Hotels or vetted apartments near the host site in Spain.
Insurance & liability
Coordinators based in Seville, Spain make this concrete for every business & administration cohort, with named contacts on both sides. Travel, medical and civil-liability coverage for the full mobility window.
Observation programme
In Spain this stage flows through our Seville regional team covering business & administration hosts, so timelines stay aligned with the learning agreement. Day-by-day schedule co-designed with the host so the visit produces concrete outcomes.
Closure documentation
Built around Spain's business & administration host expectations from Seville outward and the regional cost band so budgets stay predictable. Europass Mobility certificate, host evaluation and observation report for KA1 reporting.
