How it works for colleges
The six-step journey
A 20-minute conversation about your cohorts, curriculum areas and calendar. No deck, no pressure.
Numbers, dates, sectors and budget agreed in writing — priced within the DfE's published Turing rates.
Every student matched to a vetted Porto employer in their field; SEND support plans agreed with your SENCO.
Parent information, travel documents, insurance, welcome packs and a briefing session at your college.
Airport welcome, induction day, daily welfare check-ins, employer supervision and a 24/7 emergency line.
Attendance logs, learner feedback and outcome evidence — everything your Turing audit requires.

Our promise to coordinators
“We publish coordinator feedback only after we have delivered — with names, colleges and permission. Until then, judge us on the detail of our answers: ask us anything about safeguarding, employers, accommodation or funding, and expect a straight answer within one working day.”
