This grant marks the eighth year Mayo College has been awarded funding through the Erasmus+ programme, bringing the total funding awarded to over €1.5 million.

The college has a long history of supporting students to complete their work placements abroad. With the new funding, Mayo College will continue to expand its reach and internationalise their projects beyond European boundaries. The grant will provide students exciting character-building opportunities in countries around the world.
