By working in partnership with local employers, colleges across the region gain a better understanding of the skills industry needs.

Understanding the region’s workforce development requirements allows colleges to deliver a future pipeline of talent equipped with the right knowledge and skills to help organisations reach their full potential.

It also means colleges can provide high quality training, tailored to individual organisations, to help future proof businesses and build a talented, highly skilled workforce.

Colleges and education partnerships covering the North East Combined Authority area want to work with local businesses to provide:

  • World-class training
  • Work experience opportunities
  • Employment opportunities
  • Opportunities to design course content
  • Access to the skilled talent of the future.

Below is a list of all the North East college employer team contacts.

Local businesses can also access an independent overview of the options for engaging with the education and skills landscape, plus the benefits of doing so, via The Education Landscape’s Guide for Employers.
