Nenagh College of Further Education is a newly approved partner in the EU-funded Erasmus+ Programme. The purpose of the Erasmus+ is to provide opportunities for students to study, train, gain work experience or volunteer abroad.
In the coming academic year 10 students from Nenagh College of Further Education will take part on a two-week international work placement in Malaga, Spain in May 2021. These work placements will be pre-arranged through a network of contacts with Spanish enterprises in a wide variety of areas. All work placements are EU funded which contribute to the cost of flights, accommodation, and day-to-day living expenses while on work placement.
The aim of the Erasmus+ Programme is to improve employability by giving students an international experience and to create an environment where students are confident participating in an open Europe. Erasmus+ opportunities will be very beneficial to students as they gain valuable experience in terms of learning a new language and technical skills but also in terms of personal growth and development. It will also enhance the student’s CV and help them to secure future employment both at home and abroad. Furthermore, the Erasmus+ Programme can be particularly beneficial for those students looking to study European languages at higher level.
