Career Colleges Trust helping young people to fulfil their potential

The Career Colleges Trust is a charity, founded with a primary objective: supporting students into great careers.

We do this by bringing employers and education providers together, to equip students with the knowledge, skills, attributes, behaviours and experience they need to succeed – and specifically to fill the Skills Gaps that exist in their local areas.

Career Colleges combine vocational training with real-world experience. Students receive high quality training with their provider, while having many opportunities to work directly with employers, throughout their study and in the workplace.

This training is underpinned with a project-based approach to learning where students are exposed to real world challenges, with input from employers.

Using the experience of `real world’ projects to build their knowledge and confidence, students can increase the range and choice of career options available to them.

We use this unique and innovative model of education to address growing skills gaps across a range of industries. In addition, this model is closely aligned with T-Levels, a unique opportunity to improve and develop technical education, enabling Career Colleges to support colleges and schools to prepare for, and embrace, these T-Level reforms.

Career Colleges offer:

Carefully designed programmes, which incorporate core academic elements with highly practical vocational and technical education.

The curriculum of each Career College is designed in partnership with employers – for employment.

Students get involved in industry projects and develop enterprise and communication skills, to prepare them for work and life. Equipped with such relevant academic and vocational skills, students can progress onto a higher-level apprenticeship, work or university.

Employers:

Businesses of all sizes are critical to the design, delivery and management of Career Colleges. Employers can get involved in a number of ways – from delivering a one-off masterclass right through to offering work-based opportunities or leading a project.
