Flexibility and adaptability are key to successful college-employer partnerships

The partnership approach followed by Blackpool and The Fylde College's commercial wing, B&FC for Business, is proving highly successful in helping local, regional and national companies to improve the skill levels right across their workforce.

These companies are recognising the benefits that a properly structured workforce development strategy delivers. Employees perform better and are more motivated and committed, which can lead to increases in performance and productivity. Customer service levels also improve and costs can be better controlled leading straight to increased profitability.

As an Ofsted Grade 1 Outstanding college and one of the most successful colleges in England - performing in the top 3% five years running, B&FC for Business offers employers the highest industry-standard teaching and training across a wide range of technical and professional industries.
