What Are VET Internships 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 VET Internship Programs. VET internships in Spain are short, supervised work placements in real companies for vocational students, funded under Erasmus+ KA1 (KA121 / KA122). Piktalent acts as the local intermediary in Spain: we source and vet host companies in business & administration, hospitality & tourism, it & technology and education & teaching, 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
Large VET cohorts (groups of 10–40) land in Spain every month — Piktalent runs a dense host network across business & administration, hospitality & tourism, it & technology, so even short-notice intakes get matched without losing learning-agreement alignment.
VET colleges & post-secondary providers
National agencies that move repeat groups to Spain rely on Piktalent's standing pool of audited hosts in business & administration, hospitality & tourism, it & technology — paperwork, EQAVET evidence and Mobility Tool exports are pre-templated for high-volume reporting.
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
Mapped to how Spain employers in business & administration — from Seville onward — actually onboard interns, not to a one-size-fits-all checklist. Companies in business & administration, hospitality & tourism, it & technology vetted for workplace safety, mentoring capacity and Erasmus+ compliance.
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. Student residences or shared apartments near the workplace, with move-in instructions sent before departure.
Insurance & liability coverage
Coordinators based in Seville, Spain make this concrete for every business & administration cohort, with named contacts on both sides. Travel, medical and civil-liability insurance for the full mobility period.
24/7 in-country support
In Spain this stage flows through our Seville regional team covering business & administration hosts, so timelines stay aligned with the learning agreement. A dedicated coordinator in Spain plus a 24/7 emergency line throughout the placement.
Audit-ready closure pack
Built around Spain's business & administration host expectations from Seville outward and the regional cost band so budgets stay predictable. Europass Mobility certificate, attendance log, host-company evaluation and Beneficiary Module documentation.
