How we're leading the way in skills development

We are in an era defined by rapidly advancing technology and evolving
business needs, and as a college we strive to position ourselves at the forefront of skills development.

There are a couple of new initiatives that we’ve been developing through the government’s Lifelong Learning agenda that I believe have the power to transform the business training landscape, focusing on
individual and business goals.

They have been developed in response to the skills shortages that many industries face today.

They offer individuals the skills they need to thrive in today’s dynamic business environment, while bringing additional skills and knowledge into businesses of all sizes.

Bootcamps

Bootcamps have emerged as a powerful solution to bridge the skills gap.

These intensive, short-term training programmes focus on providing practical, hands-on experience in high-demand fields such as robotics and leadership and management.

They are tailored to meet the specific demands of local employers, ensuring that you gain relevant, industry-specific skills swiftly.

Unlike traditional educational models, bootcamps condense extensive learning into a few months, enabling rapid upskilling.

By collaborating closely with businesses, we ensure our bootcamps stay ahead of the curve in industry trends and technological advancements.

Modular Learning

Modular Learning is the new kid in town, offering a more flexible approach to skills development with no tuition fees under the initial pilot scheme.

This is particularly beneficial for working professionals seeking to upskill without the commitment or cost of full-time study.

Modular Learning allows learners to build their expertise through modules that can be tailored to individual career goals and business needs.

It has a business-centric approach, integrating real-world projects and case studies into training, growing theory-based knowledge while boosting practical skills.

Our close partnerships with local businesses ensure that Modular Learning graduates are well prepared to enhance their organisations
from day one.

Are there areas of your business that would benefit from these kinds of training? Let me know, it would be great to hear from you: [email protected]
