Write a commentTwenty nine SRC students have just returned from Germany after carrying out a fantastic two week work placement fully funded through the ERASMUS + Programme.
The group consisted of BTEC Level 2 & 3 Construction & Built Environment students and Apprenticeship students from Painting & Decorating, Tiling, Bricklaying, Carpentry, Joinery and Plastering. During their time in Germany the students were involved in working on a restoration project in the centre of Leipzig.
The Construction students also visited the University in Leipzig were they were given a lesson on how to test the strength of large re-enforced concrete beams and the technical science associated around forces and newton's 3rd law.
Since 2007 SRC’s International Affairs team have secured over €2m in EU funding through the Lifelong Learning (LLP) & Erasmus + Programmes for 55 EU projects.
These have enabled over 1000 students to secure work-placements and job shadowing abroad. Further information please email: internationalaffairs@src.ac.uk
