As Daily Focus wraps up a campaign surrounding National Apprenticeship Week 2025, South Staffordshire College explains the way it works with businesses.
South Staffordshire College prides itself on building strong connections with employers to help bridge the gap between education and employment. We strive to ensure our students are equipped with real-world experiences and skills needed to thrive in their chosen careers. By working closely with industry, we actively address skills shortages and contribute to creating a workforce ready to meet the evolving demands of the modern job market.
We work with a range of employers across Staffordshire and the West Midlands, offering apprenticeships, bespoke training programs and CPD to upskill your staff and meet your sector’s evolving needs.
Ways we can help your business
Apprenticeships
Apprenticeships are a cost-effective way to recruit new talent into your business and with no upper age limit they are perfect to upskill existing staff too.
South Staffordshire College offers apprenticeships across the following sectors: business, engineering, motor vehicle, construction, trades, land-based, retail, commercial enterprise, care, leisure, and IT.
Our in-house recruitment team can help you recruit the right apprentice and provide access to our talent pool of individuals seeking apprenticeship opportunities.
Matt Collins, Head of Power Distribution at IDE Systems, said, “IDE has been working with South Staffordshire College for over 10 years, employing apprentices in all areas of our business. We have built a great relationship with the team, who understand our needs and provide timely communication and support.”
Innovative training solutions
We also offer a range of short courses and CPD programs, from AI training and industry-specific qualifications to essential skills like English and maths. These courses are designed to ensure your workforce is prepared for both today’s challenges and tomorrow’s opportunities.
Address the skills gap
We invite local businesses to join our mission to create a skilled, adaptable workforce. By participating in our Skills Advisory Panel, you can directly influence the training and development of your future employees. Our next Skills Advisory Panel takes place in June. Book your place to attend.
