The British Council is inviting suitably qualified UK further education colleges or training organisations to apply for a new grant-funded International Skills Partnership in Mauritius.
This is an excellent opportunity for a UK-based further education college or training organisation looking to build a network and capacity to work internationally. The successful applicant will be eligible for £19,000 of grant funding to support partnership activities (reciprocal visits between the UK and Mauritius, staff time (limited to 30% of the grant), development of tools and resources, etc).
The UK-based skills organisation will partner with Mauritius Institute of Technology and Development, with the support of Mauritius Circular Economy Steering Group members as a key project stakeholders. Partners will share expertise in embedding circular economy teaching in TVET courses, with a specific focus on the mobility and logistics sector.
The British Council teams in the UK and in Mauritius will provide ongoing advice and guidance throughout the partnership to help facilitate communication and deliver maximum benefit.
The project will run for a duration of 12 months from the end of March 2026.
The call for proposals is part of the British Council’s Going Global Partnerships programme which builds stronger, more inclusive, internationally connected higher education and TVET systems by supporting partnerships between universities, colleges, education policy makers, civil society organisations and industry partners around the world.
