Host families

If you have a spare bedroom, you can earn additional weekly income by having international students from the EU. You deal directly with The IBD Partnership Group and not with any external parties. During the hosting period, you are given a number that is contactable 24/7 on an emergency basis

Our students are from various European countries and come for their work placement for a short period (usually for 4 weeks, but sometimes 3 months). We have students almost all year round.

We offer different types of boarding from self-catering to half and full board.

All students are brought to you on arrival by our driver. You will never be required to collect students since they travel independently to IBD Group and their work placements.

For companies

We cooperate with many companies and organisations in the South East region (Portsmouth, Southampton and Brighton) who take our students for work placements.

Usually, the students stay for a period of 4 weeks (but it can be anything from 2 weeks to 3 months), and they are studying a professional course or are recent graduates. Many of them already have professional experience in the field. They come to the UK to gain an understanding of the UK business and professional sectors, as well as to improve their language skills.

The students are fully funded and insured by EU education programmes; there is no cost for your organisation. The IBD Group deals with all the necessary documentation.

Your organisation can benefit from having an international student:

  • Additional help and support without any cost
  • International experience and new ideas
  • Potential language advantage in trading with a new country
