Our courses and advanced and higher
apprenticeships deliver the skills needed in
industry.
Working with industry partners, we've ensured

requirements within engineering, technology and
science industries.

These elements are vital for developing
collaboration skills and workplace familiarity,
and employers look specifically for them in
candidates when they're hiring.
