Coleg Gwent News

We’re proud to have a strong connection with local employers at Coleg Gwent. We’re heading into 2021 with a new employer-led way of working and we recently collaborated with the innovative Tin Can Kitchen which was a great success!

Learners on our Esports course at Blaenau Gwent Learning Zone recently organised their own popular and successful gaming event where gamers could compete in teams against Wales international rugby stars.

Learners with hearing impairments face even more challenges than most. So, our Hearing Impaired Communicators have now set up a Deaf Club, so we can proudly support our community of hearing-impaired learners and help them achieve their full potential.

Creative industries are growing five times faster than other sectors in Britain, but only 3-14% of individuals working in these sectors are from ethnic minority communities and we hope to change this.

At Coleg Gwent, we know that many of our learners have ambitions that extend far beyond their studies. So, we aim to support you to develop valuable skills and knowledge through extra-curricular activities and entrepreneurial competitions like the Tafflab Programme.

With the opening of our new Torfaen Learning Zone campus just around the corner, Rachel Gruber, a Technician in our School of Health and Social Care, decided to search for a new home for our old science equipment to give it a second lease of life.
