Erasmus+ allows colleges and training providers to partner with institutions across Europe, giving students and staff the chance to gain life changing experiences abroad. Students and apprentices can gain real-world experience through work placements and study visits abroad. Staff can learn new skills and share their expertise with international colleagues. FE providers can work with international partners to share ideas and develop new approaches to training and learning.
Think construction students working with learners in Spain on sustainable building techniques, or teaching staff from Finland, Greece and Belgium sharing practical ways to prepare learners for the workplace.
The British Council will act as the delivery body for Erasmus+, known as the National Agency. It is already offering free information sessions and resources to help colleges understand the opportunities available to their schools and support the application process.
