What is Employability?

We have a dedicated Employability Team to support students in improving existing and gaining new skills that employers look for. In addition to supporting all Level 2 and 3 students to complete a one-week work placement with a suitable employer, our Employability Team lead and organise the work placement element of programmes including T Levels, Extended Placements and Traineeships.

We have excellent working partnerships with many businesses in the county and beyond, as well as providing a matching service, offering the opportunity for the right student to be partnered with the right company, so career interests are aligned with the business needs.

Why should employers partner with us?
