STRONG EMPLOYER LINKS

We take great pride in working with local employers and community organisations. On all of our Higher Education programmes we have developed a strong focus on employability and our students benefit from the employer links that we have developed. We believe that engaging employers is key to ensuring that students are ready and equipped for life after study.

NATIONAL CAREERS SERVICE

We work with the National Careers Service to provide free, impartial careers advice and guidance to support students aged 19+ into employment. You can access support through online sessions, tutorials and resources on the College VLE and dropin sessions. Appointments can be made through the Student and College Services Reception team.
