What Is Job Shadowing in Sweden?
Sweden's innovation-driven economy and progressive work culture offer world-class Erasmus+ placements in tech, sustainability, and design. Concrete reasons institutions choose Sweden for Job Shadowing & Internship Hosting. Job shadowing in Sweden is a structured Erasmus+ KA1 staff-mobility format where teachers, trainers or administrative staff observe peers at a host organisation in Sweden. It is typically 3 to 14 days. Piktalent acts as the local intermediary: we match staff with institutional hosts in technology & gaming, sustainability & clean tech, design & creative and automotive & engineering, 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.

Insurance & liability
Across Sweden's technology & gaming corridor anchored in Stockholm, our local desk runs this step end-to-end so the sending school never chases vendors. Travel, medical and civil-liability coverage for the full mobility window.
Observation programme
Coordinators based in Stockholm, Sweden make this concrete for every technology & gaming cohort, with named contacts on both sides. Day-by-day schedule co-designed with the host so the visit produces concrete outcomes.
Closure documentation
In Sweden this stage flows through our Stockholm regional team covering technology & gaming hosts, so timelines stay aligned with the learning agreement. Europass Mobility certificate, host evaluation and observation report for KA1 reporting.
