Weston College has launched Power Up, a new employer-focused campaign designed to help businesses strengthen their workforce, grow sustainably, and stay ahead in a rapidly changing skills landscape.

Power Up puts employers at the heart of Weston College’s mission to shape the future workforce. Beyond equipping local people with industry-ready skills, the campaign focuses on supporting businesses to grow, thrive, and build a strong, future-proof talent pipeline.

Through a flexible and tailored approach, Weston College works in partnership with employers to deliver solutions that fit each organisation’s needs. Support includes apprenticeships and degree apprenticeships, short courses, industry placements, work experience opportunities, and supported internships - all designed to align with real business demands.

Tracie Leahy, Assistant Principal – Apprenticeships & Skills said, “Weston College understands that investing in people is one of the smartest moves any business can make. Whether employers are looking to upskill their existing workforce, attract new talent, streamline training, or stay ahead of emerging industry trends, Power Up offers a comprehensive range of employer-focused content to help businesses succeed.”
