Employer Collaboration Event!

Southend City College Holds Successful Employer Collaboration Event

Southend City College hosted an Employer Collaboration Event which attracted a number of local businesses who engaged with the college to form associations that reflect South Essex College Groups’ ethos of being at the heart of the community.

Attendees included representatives from Southend Council, HSBC, Southend Theatres, local gyms and digital marketing company, Beyond Co, which is run by ex-student Jake Lines.

Southend City College Principal, Nicki Kelly gave a lively presentation, the attendees were treated to a tour of the college’s facilities and were able to network with the heads of school.

Nicki said: “We have held the first of many employer forums this academic year at Southend City College. It was great to have local businesses from the Southend City area attend and allow us to showcase the fantastic facilities that we have and courses that we offer. There was opportunity to begin initial discussions on collaboration and establish how we can work together. All employers that attended were impressed by the college and have exciting ideas on how they will be able to contribute to our students’ learning experience as well as supporting the college to ensure we are delivering the right knowledge and skills. Thank you to all those who attended and I am already looking forward to the next event in the New Year!”
