Support our Fresh Start Employer campaign

Fresh Start employer

As one of the fastest growing College’s in the UK and with 30,000+ students enrolled annually, we help over 1000 employers across 50 vocational sectors bridge important skills gaps to thrive and grow.

As a Queen’s Award winner for Inclusive Practice, we also know that there are a growing number of success stories from employers who have recruited some of their best talent from those with disadvantaged backgrounds who just needed a 'fresh start’ – achieved by a supportive employer who has looked at their CV and circumstances with an open mind.
