Industry & Employer Connect
A central aim of our college is to establish a range of ways that embed Industry engagement in many of the services that the college support, with the overall goal of enhancing the student experience, enabling each student to reach their full potential and providing opportunities for networking with industry and businesses during their time here in the college.
We are always looking to establish new links and relationships with industry/businesses and welcome the opportunity to liaise with your business to see how we can achieve this.
The college has a dedicated Industry Connect team who are involved in all aspects of industry and employer engagement facilitating multiple opportunities for learners to establish links with/reach out to employers.
