The Students from Templemore College of Further Education gained valuable experiences in terms of learning a new language and technical skills in their areas of expertise but also in terms of personal growth. All students demonstrated a significant increase in self-confidence, maturity, and motivation upon their return home to Ireland. In addition, the Erasmus+ mobility experience will enhance the student’s CV and help the student secure future employment, at home or abroad.
