Employers from across the region can find out how they can shape the content of courses at City of Wolverhampton College at a free business breakfast on Wednesday, 10 December.
The event will be an opportunity for businesses to inform college staff about the skills needed in their relevant sectors and explore how they can contribute to developing the workforce of the future.
The breakfast – at the college’s new campus in the City Learning Quarter in the centre of Wolverhampton – will also be an opportunity to find out about the college’s vocational courses, apprenticeship training programmes and industry-standard teaching and learning facilities.
Guests will enjoy breakfast in the new college cafe before being welcomed by Louise Fall, principal and chief executive of the college who will talk about how employers can play a part in driving up skills levels across the region.
Those attending will also hear from Daniel Degg, head of employer engagement and business development, about how organisations can contribute to developing industry-relevant programmes to equip learners with practical skills and knowledge to meet their company and wider industry’s current and future business needs.
Participants will then meet with individual curriculum managers to discuss the needs of their industries and find out how they can enhance students’ learning by offering work experience placements, site visits or hosting employment-focussed workshops and information sessions.
The business breakfast will run from 8am to 11am and places can be booked here
The business breakfast has been arranged by the college in conjunction with the Black Country Chamber of Commerce as part of its regular Wolverhampton Wednesday networking events.
