The NW Academy has been working as a hosting organisation for European projects since the company began in 2003. We have also managed various projects for Northern Ireland.

OUTGOING

EU Training I , EU Training II and EU Training III.
The EU Training I. EU Training II & EU Training III projects aimed at young students attending colleges of further and higher education in Northern Ireland. These funded projects provided students with the opportunity to travel to Spain, France or Finland to complete a short language and cultural preparation course before undertaking a work placement in a European company. The projects provided college students in Northern Ireland with a valuable opportunity to develop their skills and cultural awareness.
