Student Teacher/Youth Worker Placements

This strand seeks to encourage greater structured links between both systems and sectors and to promote understanding of the respective sytems within the professions through the exchange of student teachers and youth workers during their teaching practice and their youth work placements.

A grant of euro1133/ £781 per student is available to educational institutions to cover the cost of placements for three weeks on a cross-border basis of student teachers and youth workers from Northern Ireland and the Border Region of Ireland.

Note: The participation of colleges/institutions outside the border region is based on the students involved being from the border counties.

NcompasS meets with the students before, during and after the placements in order to share the learning gained. In addition NcompasS links with networks developed by the colleges, which support the exchanges.

The deadline for application by Colleges for student placements is Wednesday 28th February 2007.
