Delivering Skills,
Boosting Businesses
We're proud to be part of a collaborative effort with leading institutions across the South-East Midlands region, driven by the Local Skills Improvement Fund (LSIF).
Working hand-in-hand with employers, we co-create a curriculum that evolves to meet changing industry skills priorities. Our industry skills boards (ISBs) bring together employers and sector bodies to inform us about labour market demands so that we can design programmes that map tightly to vocational routes with current skills shortages.
We embed real-world learning through industry placements, visiting speakers, practical workshops and site visits. Work experience opportunities allow them to put their skills into practice while developing the behaviours and attitude valued by employers.
It is testament to this rigorous employer-led approach and community spirit that over 90% of our students’ progress to positive destinations like skilled employment, apprenticeships or higher education. They become the future workforce fuelling our local economy across sectors like healthcare, agriculture, hospitality, public services and more.
By working closely with employers we can ensure that the courses and skills being taught to young people and adults fill the skills gaps within our local community and the wider sectors. Check out some of the ways that you can work with us to inspire and train your future workforce.
