Recruitment, business support and funding towards training

We work together with businesses across the region to deliver world-class training, open-up employment opportunities and help employers to access the next generation of skilled talent.

Our Business Development team works with employers, helping them to access training, funding and recruitment support. We specialise in vocational training and by working closely with industry we can offer our students work experience opportunities and industry insight through masterclasses and guest lectures, while our employer partners can access a pipeline of skilled and work-ready students and graduates.

Deliver an apprenticeship

We’re really proud of the apprenticeships we offer to our talented and skilled pool of apprentices. It is our strong links with our partners and networks which allows us to make this happen.

Train and develop your staff

From part-time short courses to full-time degrees, free adult courses and flexible online learning, we have hundreds of courses to choose from. We can help you and your employees understand the available funding too.

Together We Changed

The Together We Changed initiative was founded in January 2021 to explore how we can improve our courses, provision, and employer engagement.

We collaborated with employers to find out how we could improve our services. Based on our findings, we agreed:

To make contact with an agreed number of employers each month to gather feedback and record results centrally
To introduce employer advisory boards so they can be part of curriculum planning
To work alongside industry partners on-campus, at themed evenings, on live projects and for other events intended to gain positive feedback which will be examined on a monthly basis
