Spain receives more Erasmus+ participants than any other EU member state. In the most recent programme cycle, Spain hosted over 51,000 Erasmus+ higher education students and ranks as the top destination for VET (vocational education and training) mobility placements. Over 10,000 Spanish organisations are registered in the Erasmus+ ORS (Organisational Registration System) as eligible host partners — a volume that reflects a deeply embedded culture of international educational exchange across Spanish companies, schools, and institutions.
Spain Internship has been managing Erasmus+ KA1 mobility projects in Spain for over a decade, working with sending institutions from across Europe to place students and staff in pre-screened host companies across Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Valencia, Malaga, and Bilbao. Our services cover the full project lifecycle: feasibility checks before the mobility grant is confirmed, Learning Agreement and Hosting Agreement preparation, pre-departure orientation, onboarding on arrival, ongoing pastoral support, and final certification including Europass documents.
Spain's appeal for Erasmus+ participants extends well beyond logistics. The country offers a genuinely diverse range of placement environments — from international tech startups in Barcelona's 22@ district to agricultural and food industry placements in Andalusia, cultural heritage institutions in Seville, and engineering firms in Bilbao's heavy industry corridor. Spanish host companies are generally experienced with Erasmus+ procedures and comfortable working with international interns, which reduces integration friction and improves learning outcomes.

What is Erasmus+ mobility?
Erasmus+ is the European Union's flagship programme for education, training, youth, and sport. Under Key Action 1 (KA1), it funds physical and blended learning stays abroad for students, recent graduates, apprentices, VET learners, teachers, trainers, and other education staff.
Funding does not flow directly to individuals. National Erasmus+ agencies award grants to accredited sending institutions (universities, VET schools, consortia), which then distribute travel, accommodation, insurance, and living-cost contributions to their selected participants. Spain Internship works with those accredited institutions as the trusted host-country partner — matching participants to placements, drafting all Erasmus+ paperwork, and delivering the mobility on the ground in Spain.
Erasmus+ programme priorities we build into every mobility
The 2021–2027 Erasmus+ cycle formalised four horizontal priorities the European Commission expects every mobility project to address. We design placements and cultural activities so that each priority is not just referenced on paper but genuinely lived during the stay in Spain.
- Green practices & sustainability — placements in renewable energy, sustainable tourism, and circular-economy projects; low-carbon travel guidance where possible
- Digital transformation & innovation — exposure to digital tools, workflows, and data-driven ways of working in every sector
- Social inclusion & diversity — accessible host companies and support tailored to participants with fewer opportunities
- Youth employability & lifelong learning — measurable learning outcomes and Europass documentation that translate directly to a CV
Services for students & recent graduates
Student Erasmus+ traineeships are the most common mobility type we manage, with placements running from 2 months to 12 months across all major sectors. Every placement is individually matched based on the student's field of study, language profile, and the host company's available projects. For groups of 5 or more students from the same institution, we coordinate arrival timing, cultural visits, and shared accommodation to create a cohesive mobility experience rather than a set of isolated placements.
- Tailored placements in Business, Marketing, Engineering, Education, Tourism, IT, and more
- Pre-screened host companies experienced in Erasmus+ mobility procedures
- Coordinated group programmes for 5+ students with cultural visits and social integration
- Full management of Learning Agreements, Hosting Agreements, and Mobility Agreements
- Support with Europass Mobility, risk assessments, and final certification
- Pre-departure preparation, cultural orientation, visa guidance, and onboarding on arrival
- Accommodation assistance, airport pickup, and 24/7 emergency support throughout the stay
Services for staff & teachers
Staff mobility under Erasmus+ KA1 allows teachers, trainers, and educational professionals to undertake job shadowing or training activities in Spanish schools, VET centres, and companies. These placements typically last 1 to 2 weeks and are designed around the professional development goals set out in the sending institution's Erasmus+ accreditation plan. Spain Internship matches staff with host environments where relevant pedagogical practices — digital tools, project-based learning, green skills integration — can be directly observed and documented.
- Job shadowing placements in Spanish schools, training centres, and companies
- Observation of teaching methodologies, classroom practices, and vocational training techniques
- Exposure to innovative pedagogical approaches, digital tools, and green skills frameworks
- Activities supporting knowledge transfer, strategic collaboration, and professional upskilling
- Cultural and linguistic immersion with optional language classes and local excursions
- Full preparation and validation of Mobility Agreements and final certifications
