Stronger Together
Organisations we are proudly partnered with.
The College with sites at Weybridge and Ashford looks to be an inclusive centre for lifelong learning and to equip our partners with the professional behaviours, skills and values that they will need for their careers.
Alongside vocational courses for those continuing their education after school the college offers a range of opportunities post 19 with many fully funded options.
These start with a range of Ievel 3 qualifications which will help you:
- gain skills that employers value
- improve your job prospects
- earn a higher wage
If you're eligible you will not have to pay for your Level 3 qualification. The government will pay the course fees.

The academy connects you to jobs and careers across the airport.
In addition to being a gateway to jobs across the airport it also promotes apprenticeships across the airport in areas such as construction.
However not all candidates are clear about the requirements so the academy also offers candidates looking for employment at the airport free access to the Universal Framework for essential skills.
It also offers a diverse range of events including drop-in sessions, essential skills workshops and online webinars.
The Employability Team helps to find work placements, volunteer opportunitiesand paid work for disabled people, autistic people, those with sensory needs and those with mental health problems.

Though many come as referrals from adult services or have an EHCP there are other funded routes which do not require these pathways.
