Students from South Staffordshire College’s Tamworth Campus have returned from a two-week work placement trip to Venice thanks to collaboration with European Training Services (ETS), who support work placements for graduates and school leavers through the Leonardo da Vinci Project. Funded by the European Community’s Lifelong Learning programme, the project facilitates student exchanges both from and into European destinations, providing them with hands-on experience in a different EU member state to enrich their vocation in the UK. The National Travel and Tourism students prepared well for their trip, attending 20 Italian language lessons, a one-day resilience training exercise and a cultural evening of Italian Dolce Vita. The students carried out work experience placements focusing on Travel agents, Guiding and Event Management and Visitor Attractions, as well as a unique opportunity to work with mask making companies producing amazing masks for the famous carnival which takes every February in Venice. South Staffordshire College student Inese Gorbaca enjoyed the whole experience, saying “My progression coach, Hayley Meades, said I was an excellent ambassador for South Staffordshire College and will undoubtedly go on to be a huge success – I am very proud.” Hayley Meades summed up the trip, saying “Our thanks go out to Rachel Coker and her team from the Leonardo da Vinci IVT project, to Tina Dyte and Helen Pettit of South Staffordshire College and most of all to all the students who participated in what proved to be a very educational and life rewarding experience.”
