We make the connections that matter for international internships & student mobility.
Piktalent is a full-service partner for Erasmus+ mobility programmes, international internships and end-to-end student support. We design, manage and deliver mobility experiences for institutions, students and companies across Europe and beyond.
Trusted by 500+ educational institutions in 30+ countries, our local teams handle every detail — placement, accommodation, insurance, visa support and on-site coordination.
Piktalent is the international brand of The Student Mobility Group.
The Student Mobility Group has been organising international internships and mobility programmes since 2009 — first under regional brands like Spain Internship, and from 2023 under the unified Piktalent brand.
This evolution reflects 15+ years of operational experience: vetted host-company networks, Erasmus+ accreditation, local teams in 12+ countries, and end-to-end coordination for every project we manage.
We are not a marketplace or a job board. We are a service company whose job is to make international mobility actually work.

A message from our founder
"We make the connections that matter."
Behind every internship there is a student building their future, an institution delivering on its promise, and a company welcoming new talent. Our role is to make those connections real — with rigour, care and the operational depth that international mobility actually requires.
Connect students, institutions and companies through international mobility — and make the experience seamless for all of them.
We exist so that an Erasmus+ mobility, an international internship, or a placement abroad stops being an administrative burden and becomes a transformative professional experience.
From a small Sevillian team in 2009 to an international brand in 2023.
An evolution — not a replacement. Each chapter built on the last.
The Student Mobility Group is founded in Seville
A small team starts solving a real problem: institutions struggle to organise quality international internships for their students. The first programmes run in southern Spain.
Spain Internship grows across the country
Under the Spain Internship brand, the group expands its host-company network to Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and Seville, becoming a reference partner for European VET and HEI institutions.
Expansion into Erasmus+ mobility programmes
The group becomes an accredited intermediary organisation, broadening services to KA121 and KA122 mobility, accommodation, insurance, and full-service coordination.
International network and 3,000+ host companies
Operations extend to Portugal, Italy, Germany, Ireland, Poland and beyond — with local teams managing placements in 12+ countries.
Piktalent launches as the international brand
The group unifies its services under Piktalent — a single, international brand serving institutions, students and companies across Europe and beyond.
