We’re the people who arrange graduate training in Europe...
European Training Services was set up in 1988 to arrange overseas training for school leavers and graduates. Today, we’re the UK's leading organiser of trans-national work exchanges.
From our base in Lichfield, we send British trainees to Europe for 3 month placements - all funded by the Leonardo da Vinci Programme. Through our European partners, we also receive hundreds of trainees, finding them work placements with all types of employers here in the UK.
The last 12 months have been busy, and we’ve helped close to 800 trainees to find work experience on both sides of the Channel. The next 12 months look busier still, with new European partners and new destinations coming on board.
Who do we work with?
The work experience programme relies on a host of partnerships. We work with:
- Graduates and school leavers making the leap from education to employment
- UK employers who want to fill a temporary vacancy (at zero cost)
- European partners: training organisations, colleges, language schools, employment agencies, and more...
- Host families in the UK: people who offer accommodation and support for our trainees
Why should you work with us?
Well, we can think of a few good reasons!
- In the UK, we’re one of just four organisations to hold Europe’s Certificate for Mobility – that’s a new award and a key part of the Lifelong Learning Programme
- We’re the only private company to hold this accolade – out of 400 mobility organisers in the UK!
- We have a vast network of partners working with us out in Europe. And we’re always expanding the network – which means more and more quality placements
- We create opportunities for all – regardless of age, gender, religion, impairment...it’s all there in our equal opportunities policy
