International work placements Clause Samples

International work placements. Students benefit each year through work experience placements funded through the European Union funded Erasmus project. This allows students to have work experience in other European countries including Sweden, Portugal, Spain Germany, Netherlands and Ireland. The students benefit greatly from these experiences, expanding their vocational knowledge and growing in confidence. Opportunities for employment have also arisen for several students over the years following their European placement, providing them with the experience of working in another country. College staff have also benefited as they have now established relationships with other European colleges where they have undertaken guest lectures and have learned about their curriculum. Student exchanges have been in place over several years with our Swedish and Dutch partners. Digital technology is used to connect classes, forging relationships and supporting the partner college’s students in their English language skills. The College is concerned that these opportunities won’t continue following the referendum vote to leave the European Union.
