Students currently studying at the College through levels 1-3 will benefit from the academy providing gold standard training developed through already formed strong links with local employers. Raising student aspirations and standards of training to ensure students are ‘work ready’ to improve employment opportunities as well as save employers time and money on training.
The College currently works in partnership with DMBC, NHS, Building Better Opportunities, Home Instead, I Care Ambassador’s and Age UK to equip students with vital training ensuring they are highly skilled and a set above the rest when they leave their studies looking for employment.
