Coleg Gwent News

Our talented learners across Coleg Gwent have been given the unique opportunity to get creative and design a logo for the Torfaen Strategic Economic Forum’s new Business Forum.

Business student Hannaliese has ambitions to make it in the professional world and has already secured herself a successful summer placement with the help of the CG Ambitions team.

Our Crosskeys Campus Hair and Beauty department recently hosted some special guests from BBC X Ray. With industry-standard facilities and expert tutors in the make-up and beauty sector, Coleg Gwent was the ideal place to film an episode all about the growing issue of counterfeit make-up. 

With the high-profile UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) coming up, our learners were given the unique opportunity to speak to local Senedd Members to express their thoughts on climate change and discuss the topics they’d like the conference address. 

Investing in state-of-the-art equipment is an important part of helping our learners keep up with the latest changes and innovations in the sector. So, our Construction and Civil Engineering department at the City of Newport Campus has had an exciting delivery of brand-new surveying equipment from KOREC.

This year, 29 inspirational Coleg Gwent learners have made it through to the finals of WorldSkills UK, competing against learners from colleges across the country this November.
