Erasmus+
Templemore College is proud to be an active partner in the EU-funded Erasmus+ programme. Erasmus+ provides opportunities for students to study, train, gain work experience and volunteer abroad. Currently, thirty-five students from Templemore College take part in work placements in Spain, France, and Germany each year. Work placements are organised through a network of contacts with Spanish, German, and French enterprises in a wide variety of industry sectors. Erasmus+ opportunities are very beneficial to students who gain valuable experience while learning a new language and technical skills but also in terms of personal growth. All students report an increase in self-confidence, independence, maturity, and motivation upon their return home to Ireland.
In addition, the Erasmus+ mobility experience can enhance the student's CV and help the student secure future employment, at home or abroad.
The Erasmus+ programme can be particularly beneficial for those students looking to continue their studies of European languages at higher level.
