Turing Scheme

From 2021 to 2023 CapacityUK delivered two versions of our International Experience: Media and Creatives (IE:MaC) Turing Scheme project, which offered leaners undertaking Digital Media and Creative Industries qualifications opportunities to gain valuable international work experience and knowledge within these sectors.

 The project partnership included Host Employers from Spain, Portugal and the Czech Republic who provided high-quality and relevant placements for our learners and the destination cities of Seville, Lisbon and Prague host clusters of high quality digital and creative businesses, allowing participants to build their professional networks.
