Description

In Spring 2024, Leicester College intends to submit a grant funding application to the DfE for the 2024/25 Turing Scheme. The Scheme funds mobility placements in education and training across the world.
To enable selected 2024/25 student cohorts to benefit from overseas further education-based mobility placements, we are currently welcoming tenders from experienced and reputable organisations to support us by organising, managing, and delivering these international mobility placements.
Leicester College proposes to enter into one or more contract(s) for a maximum period of 12 months.
To be considered as a partner organisation we require as a minimum:



Experience of supporting mobility placements abroad with UK further education students including apprentices

Evidence of working with underrepresented students which include ethnic/white minorities, those with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND), including people with additional learning needs (ALN)

Mobility placements with external employers which enable students to enhance skills and improve educational and career prospects (organisations can list single or multiple sectors/locations)

Placements of at least 14 days (excluding travel time) or at least 7 days for those students with SEND/ALN

Mobility placements to take place between mid-October 2024 to 31 August 2025.
