Career College
Thinking about a career in Professional Services or Creative & Digital Industries? Career Colleges could be the answer.
Career Colleges increase the range and choice of vocational courses for 16-19 year olds. This unique and innovative model of education helps address the growing skills gap in the UK.
Career Colleges have carefully designed programmes, which incorporate academic study with highly practical vocational and technical education designed to equip you with the skills to enter a career in a particular industry.
The curriculum of each Career College is designed by employers, for employment. You’ll get involved in industry projects with live briefs and develop enterprise and communication skills to prepare you for work and life.
When can I start?
