What Are KA121 & KA122 Mobility Programs 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 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 Sweden: we source hosts in technology & gaming, sustainability & clean tech, design & creative and automotive & engineering, manage accommodation, run the logistics and provide audit-ready closure for the Beneficiary Module.

What's Included
Every programme includes comprehensive services managed end-to-end by Piktalent.
Host sourcing
Within Sweden's technology & gaming network around Stockholm, this layer is delivered by the same team that vets hosts and signs the agreements. Companies in technology & gaming, sustainability & clean tech, design & creative matched to learners' profiles, plus institutional hosts for staff flows.
Group accommodation
Mapped to how Sweden employers in technology & gaming — from Stockholm onward — actually onboard interns, not to a one-size-fits-all checklist. Bulk-friendly accommodation (residences, group apartments) near workplaces in Sweden.
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 for both learners and staff for the full mobility window.
Operational coordination
Coordinators based in Stockholm, Sweden make this concrete for every technology & gaming cohort, with named contacts on both sides. Airport pickup, induction, weekly attendance, mid-term and final evaluations.
Beneficiary Module closure
In Sweden this stage flows through our Stockholm regional team covering technology & gaming hosts, so timelines stay aligned with the learning agreement. Mobility tool exports, Europass certificates, host evaluations — audit-ready.
