Erasmus+ mobility for further education & VET.

Our programmes are created around the realities of FE delivery, supporting a wide range of learners and staff.
- Level 2 and Level 3 learners
- T Level students
- Apprentices and vocational learners
- Mixed-curriculum groups
- Widening-participation cohorts
- Learners with limited international experience
- Teaching, support and international staff
Purposeful real-world experience.
ThinkEurope programmes connect vocational learning with real European contexts. Learners can explore industries, meet employers, engage with local organisations, complete structured tasks and reflect on how their experience connects to future study, work and life.
Programmes can be designed around one curriculum area or shaped for mixed groups through shared themes and differentiated learner outcomes.
We support a range of VET mobility formats.
- Group learning mobility with a European VET provider or suitable host
- Individual learner mobility or structured vocational placements
- Industry immersion across several employers and organisations
- Shared thematic programmes with differentiated curriculum outcomes
- Staff job shadowing and professional development
- Preparatory visits and partnership development where eligible

Supporting inclusion — mobility that feels achievable.
Many learners who may benefit most from mobility can initially feel that international experience is not for them.
ThinkEurope works with colleges to make mobility structured, supportive and achievable through clear preparation, group-based delivery, accessible planning and close communication with college staff.
Our aim is to help learners feel informed before they travel, supported while overseas and proud of what they achieve when they return.
