Develop skills and enhance employability

The Leonardo Programme is part of the European Union’s Lifelong Learning Programme.

It supports UK vocational education and training (VET) organisations, staff and learners to work together with European partners to improve training, skills and employability.

Funding opportunities under the Leonardo programme are now closed, although programme activities will continue after this date. It will be replaced by a new programme currently known as Erasmus for All from January 2014 onwards.

If you have applied for a Leonardo project in 2013 you will be informed of the outcome of your application later this year.

Mobility Projects

Mobility Projects provide staff, students, job seekers and apprentices with a unique opportunity to enhance their skills on a work placement in another European country.

Partnerships (small scale co-operation)

Partnerships allow UK organisations to work with your European counterparts on issues of mutual interest, to share ideas and discuss common problems.

Transfer of Innovation (large scale co-operation)

Transfer of Innovation allows UK organisations to work with European partners to transfer and adapt innovative vocational education and training materials and methods.

We want to support you throughout your funding journey. You will find everything you need to help you manage your Leonardo project and showcase your success.

You may find all the information a little overwhelming to begin with. But don’t worry! Our team are always happy to help.
