Trusted by coordinators across Europe
Hundreds of VET schools, universities and consortia rely on us to deliver Erasmus+ mobility in Portugal.
Their team managed our entire VET mobility project from start to finish. The placements in Berlin were excellent, accommodation well-organised, and the support team always available.
We needed a reliable partner for a KA122 group of 25 students in Munich and Stuttgart. They handled everything — host companies, accommodation, monitoring visits, and final documentation. Highly professional.
They don't just send us CVs — they send pre-screened, motivated candidates who are ready to contribute from day one. Three of our full-time hires started as interns.
