With a global outlook and extra funding for participants from disadvantaged backgrounds, it will also address some of the barriers that typically prevent young people from taking part. The scheme will provide funding of more than £100m for UK schools, colleges and higher education providers to run projects for their learners.
Overseas options
Pupils in schools will be able to study abroad in a partner school or organisation on short- and long-term placements. Apprentices and learners in further education (FE) and vocational education and training (VET) can take part in short- or long-term traineeships abroad or learn at a partner FE or VET provider. Higher education (HE) students can study in another university or gain international work experience through a traineeship in an organisation anywhere in the world. There are also similar opportunities for recent HE and VET graduates who can carry out a traineeship abroad. Those not in permanent education or training, for example those re-training or upskilling through a college or school, can also take part in a traineeship abroad.
