Last month, Health & Social Care students had the incredible opportunity with Taith funding to visit our longstanding partners at ROC Midden, Utrecht, Netherlands 🏫 to see their high quality healthcare programme facilities.

Students found it a highlight to learn of the history of healthcare in the Netherlands and how it has changed 🩺 As well as gaining a wealth of knowledge and confidence, which they all believe to improve their employability skills 💼

All participants would recommend it to future students of Healthcare! ⭐️

Students connected with buddies and host families, gaining a real insight into daily life, and even experienced the thrill of a high-speed bullet train 🚄

Impact?
⭐ Half of the students said the trip raised their aspirations
🌍 Every single student said it made them consider working abroad and helped build their confidence
