The Turing Scheme - Unlocking Global Volunteering Opportunities with Volunteering Solutions

At Volunteering Solutions, we are passionate about creating life-changing experiences for individuals who want to make a difference in the world. Through the Turing Scheme, we offer a gateway to international volunteering, internships, and cultural exchange programs that empower participants to grow personally and professionally while contributing to meaningful projects worldwide.  

What is the Turing Scheme?

The Turing Scheme is a UK government-funded initiative that supports students, graduates, and young people in pursuing international opportunities. Launched in 2021, it replaces the Erasmus+ program for UK participants and focuses on providing funding for volunteering, internships, and educational placements abroad.  

The scheme aims to:  

  • Promote global collaboration and cultural understanding

  • Enhance employability by developing transferable skills

  • Foster personal growth through immersive experiences in diverse communities.

By partnering with Volunteering Solutions, you can access fully or partially funded placements in over 20 countries, spanning a wide range of fields such as education, healthcare, environmental conservation, and community development.

How It Works: Your Journey with Volunteering Solutions

Who Can Apply?

Any institution that is registered in the UK and provides education for students can apply for Turing funding. The following types of institutions are eligible to apply for the Turing Scheme:

  • Schools
  • Colleges
  • Universities
  • Higher Education (HE) providers
  • Further Education (FE) providers
  • Vocational Education and Training (VET) providers
  • Companies working with learners and apprentices

These institutions are encouraged to submit their applications to the Turing Scheme. Participants must be enrolled in one of the eligible institutions but are not required to be full-time students. Additionally, if you employ individuals seeking to upskill or train for a new role, they may also qualify for the scheme.

While universities familiar with the Erasmus Program have been quick to embrace the Turing Scheme, other educational providers—such as schools and employers offering apprenticeships—should also explore this valuable opportunity.
