For institutes in the UK and mainland Europe: Erasmus+ can fund high-quality work-based learning abroad for your learners and staff. We act as your experienced in-country host across Spain, Italy, Portugal and the UK — and help you navigate the application maze to get there.
Book a meetingErasmus+ funding is applied for by you, the sending institution — but the quality of the mobility depends on who receives your learners on the other side. That's where we come in, twice:
Instead of scattering learners across unvetted work placements, your cohort works as consultancy teams on Live Case Briefs from local SMEs — mentored, quality-consistent and mapped to the learning outcomes in your learning agreements. Delivered in Spain, Italy, Portugal and the UK, for learner groups and staff mobility alike.
New to Erasmus+ or scaling up? We help you choose the right route, shape a mobility project that scores, and prepare the practical detail assessors look for — from learning agreements to alignment with the Erasmus Quality Standards on preparation, mentoring and recognition of outcomes.
Erasmus+ mobility funding covers travel, individual support (subsistence), organisational support and inclusion support. The route you take depends on where you are in your Erasmus+ journey:
Short-term projects for organisations new to the programme — up to 30 participants, no accreditation needed, up to three projects before you're expected to move up. The ideal pilot route.
Holders of Erasmus accreditation (via KA120) apply annually through a simplified, stable route — built for institutes with a long-term internationalisation strategy.
For universities holding the ECHE charter: student traineeships of 2–12 months, blended mobility and staff mobility — with up to 20% usable for mobility beyond programme countries.
VET learner placements run 10–89 days (short-term) or 90–365 days (ErasmusPro). Staff training and job shadowing from 2 days. Our Sprint formats are built to fit these windows.
UK organisations currently host EU Erasmus+ participants (our Exeter hub does exactly this), while UK outbound mobility runs via the Turing Scheme. The UK is expected to rejoin Erasmus+ from 2027, subject to final agreement — we'll help you plan for both.
The Erasmus Impact Study found mobile learners are half as likely to experience long-term unemployment, with 23% lower unemployment five years after graduation — and 64% of employers say international experience matters in recruitment. Pair that mobility with structured, client-facing work and you compound the effect: learners return with a Verified Portfolio, not just a stamp in their passport.
Theory is the training camp, but real-world application is the match day. Work-based learning transforms classroom knowledge into essential career skills that students simply cannot learn from a textbook.
