Working with industry
Our staff and students work with local, national, and global organisations to ensure that our teaching is at the cutting-edge of industry standards.
We work closely with employers to nurture opportunities for student-employer engagement. Advertising vacancies through our dedicated careers platform, collaborating on a project, delivering a guest talk, and advising on our curricula are ways that employers are currently involved with our programmes.
We are always keen to hear from employers who are interested in getting involved. Get in touch today by contacting [email protected] or 01803 540870.

Join our Industry Liaison Panels
Through Industry Liaison Panels, we consult employers, professionals and alumni on the design, development and approval of our programmes to ensure they meet industry needs in the local economy. Through our ILPs, you can contribute your knowledge and expertise to curriculum development.
Panels are held on an annual basis and invite employers to advise on topics such as skills development, course content, work-based learning, and resource needs.

Get involved with curriculum teaching
We are always on the lookout to provide new learning opportunities for our students. Guest lectures from national industry experts, site visits to local employers, or online training with the newest tech are a few ways in which teachers have enriched their lessons with employers. We are particularly interested in extra training that provides certification or a qualification.
To discuss any ideas, please contact [email protected].
