West Lancashire College are delighted to announce that they have secured government funding through Turing for educational international trips to an array of fantastic destinations that students will be able to benefit from this spring and summer.
Turing is the UK’s global programme to study and work abroad whose objectives are levelling up across the UK, to develop student skills and to provide value for UK taxpayers.
The funding has meant that Health and Social Care, A Level and Medicine students will be visiting Malta to carry out work experience in an international hospital. Education and Early Years students will be flying to Cyprus where they will carry out work placements in an international school, and Digital Technologies, Construction, Engineering and Motor Vehicle students will visit some of the leading car manufacturers in Austria.
The funding has enabled the college to offer the trips all expenses paid for many students, which is a fantastic opportunity for the students.
Gareth Sutton, Vice Principal said, “at West Lancashire College our aim is to connect students to amazing opportunities that they may not have had previously no matter what the student’s financial circumstances. Securing the Turing funding will enable us to do this, and I look forward to hearing all about their experiences over the coming months.”
You can find out more about the college’s fully funded trips as well as the courses on offer at their forthcoming Open Event on Monday 5th February 2024, 4.30pm-7pm. You can book your free place at Eventbrite or contact the college direct for further details 01695 52300.
