🌏 Creating global opportunities for our students

Students from across UCS College Group have taken part in a unique cross-college mobility project in Bali, bringing together learners from different courses and backgrounds for an unforgettable educational experience.

Working with Think Pacific, students immersed themselves in Balinese culture through community-led initiatives, explored sustainability and conservation projects, and gained insight into responsible tourism and global communities.

The project was designed to support students’ personal development, confidence and employability, helping them build skills and experiences that extend beyond the classroom.

Thanks to Turing Scheme funding, barriers to participation were reduced, enabling students to access an opportunity that may otherwise have been out of reach.

A huge thank you to everyone involved in making this ambitious project possible and supporting our students in becoming more confident, connected and globally aware.

Our Jobcentre Takeover Days across Somerset have helped hundreds of adults discover free learning opportunities to boost their skills and career prospects.

Working with our DWP partners, we're proud to support people on their journey into education and employment.
