Shaping current and future skills. Inspiring individuals. Investing in the workforce of tomorrow.

Partnerships and Collaboration

We’ve worked with many employers over the years and our partnerships have helped make a real difference to local communities. Our relationships with businesses have encouraged collaboration and innovation and opened up funding opportunities to benefit not just learners, but businesses and the wider economy.

Raising greater awareness of the many different ways that we can partner with your organisation is key to what we do. Building stronger collaboration with employers ensures our curriculum links closely with real work and the future skill demands of the future.

We’re always looking for partnerships to expand what the College offers, reach new learners, use different delivery methods and enhance the local business community.

Here are some of the employers we are currently working in partnership with:

Hear from some of the companies that we are already working with:

Richard Selby, Director and Co Founder of Pro Steel Engineering

“Since our trainees from Coleg Gwent have been on board with us, they’ve integrated with the business well and have really shown to other people within the business what new blood and fresh ideas can bring, coming up with new innovations and ideas. They have that real sense of energy and vibrancy that we need within the business when we have, to be fair, a bit of an aging workforce.”

Gareth Williams, Director and Co-founder of Tiny Rebel

“Partnering with Coleg Gwent was a natural step for us at Tiny Rebel. We’ve worked with their students in our kitchen and brewery, and it’s been a great way to tap into young talent while giving back to the community. Being part of the Employer Pledge helps us raise awareness, build our future workforce, and drive the business forward.”

Rebecca Legge, HR Director at AluK

“AluK is passionate about providing opportunities to grow and thrive and are excited about the partnership with Coleg Gwent to facilitate this.  As an alumni of Coleg Gwent, I am a long-term supporter and have seen first hand the incredible environment and opportunities provided at the college.  AluK recognises that not every career pathway is the same and by facilitating different routes into the industry, we will be able to see our industry and sector continue to grow in years to come.  This also provides an amazing chance for our team to access first class learning and development opportunities and share invaluable knowledge with the next upcoming generation.”
