3SI
Erasmus 2026-2028 Update
3si has 15 years’ experience working in the Erasmus programme with a variety of UK and EU colleges delivering circa 3000 students per year across multiple sectors.
With news of the UK moving back into the Erasmus programme for the academic school year in 2026, 3si is prepared to deliver multiple Erasmus work experience projects based on the essential criteria and guidelines that the UK National Agency specifically will require.
Our existing infrastructure with tried and tested host employers and accommodation providers spans 15 years across Seville. We provide seamless integration of VET projects from Turing to Erasmus.
In this time we have also worked with colleges all over the UK providing bid writing, audit support, and general management advice, which will be fundamental in this new chapter for work experience programmes in the UK and Europe.

Our Projects
3Si offers fully supported vocational work placements to participants of the Erasmus Plus & Turing Scheme programmes . We work with further education colleges and training centres to deliver projects in a range of sectors, including Catering & Hospitality; Teaching; Digital Marketing; Creative Industries; Tourism; Construction; Ecology & Community Development; and Sports & Leisure. We provide and manage placements that give participants the necessary work experience to complement their studies, build their confidence and explore a new cultural environment.
3Si also participates in research projects with partners from around Europe in the sector of vocational education and training. Our successfully completed projects include creating new European courses in Digital Media, Community Development, Creative Industries and Entrepreneurial Skills using the ECVET framework.
We perform this by leading and contributing to research projects that create new courses and enhance the methods of current vocational training.
Our research is conducted with selected partners who complement one another. Training centres, research institutes, employers and awarding bodies for vocational courses are regularly involved to ensure projects are comprehensive, evidence-based and responsive to current and future needs.
