Turing Scheme 2022-23

funding opportunity for UK FE Colleges & schools offering VET bought to you by Future Foundations and TEEP

Future Foundations are delighted to announce we are once again partnering with TEEP – Training Education and European Project, part of FMTS group. 

Together, we are helping leading FE Colleges and Schools active in the field of FE or VET to benefit from the Turing Scheme.

TEEP specialises in connecting educational, third sector, public sector and private sector organisations with EU funds for educational, vocational and training purposes, including Erasmus Plus and the Turing Scheme.  They have successfully secured funding and organised exchange programmes (for teachers and students) that create an unparalleled learning experience for students and staff.

Over the last two years, they have been focusing most of their activities on the Turing Scheme, with great success. In particular, Vocational and Educational Training Colleges for international work placements.  They offer end-to-end project planning to help Schools and Colleges identify the right projects for them, define objectives, make sure that funding is approved, and take care of all project work with their team of experts, making the process streamlined and pain-free. From the initial consultation to execution, they will collaborate closely to ensure the project is relevant and valuable for your College or School staff and students.

This is no cost to schools and colleges.  

  • If you have any questions about this funding opportunity, before expressing interest, click here to email Jonathan Harper FRSA direct. 

Since 2014, TEEP have supported over 7500 students and 2500 school staff to take part in international exchanges. 

About the Turing Scheme:

The Turing Scheme provides funding for those individuals undertaking education and training in the UK to go on and study or access work placements across the world.

This funding allows organisations to provide students with the chance to develop new skills, gain vital international experience and help contribute to the UK Government’s commitment to a Global Britain, by helping organisations forge new relationships around the world.

Colleges can apply direct, however, this will require your College to write the funding application, develop a project idea, organising the exchange, deliver the project and complete the evaluation.  This is time-consuming for College staff, and sourcing great projects abroad and developing relationships in other countries is challenging.

We have therefore partnered, with Teep, who have developed an unparalleled experience and infrastructure for delivering high-quality exchanges.

TEEP supports you before, during & after funding is secured:

Jonathan Harper FRSA, CEO, Future Foundations, says:

We are delighted to be working in partnership with TEEP, experts in securing EU funding for education & training projects for schools, colleges and youth organisations.  We worked closely on the Erasmus programme which led to a number of our school and college partners securing funding, and are delighted to know be able to share their expertise, and build on this partnership under the Turing scheme.  

I want to ensure colleges in the UK can fully benefit from this scheme, and gain access to partnerships developed over many years under the Erasmus scheme, which will provide high quality experiences for staff and young people. 

Future Foundations, is committed to ensuring our partners, are fully-supported to apply in this round.
