Through its #Pledge2Invest campaign, Sandwell College is encouraging employers to invest in their workforce and community.
Sandwell College is the West Midlands’ largest provider of 16-19 study programmes. As the video below explains, the college is asking local businesses to #Pledge2Invest: commit to at least one of three investments in order to improve the life chances of people in our communities.
Would you #Pledge2Invest by:
- Offering an apprenticeship
- Upskilling existing staff
- Offering a work placement?
Employers and entrepreneurs also have opportunities to come and speak to its students and inspire the next generation.
Improving life chances
The external engagement team at the college will collaborate with employers to offer operational support, and to advise on training options. Sandwell College also offers a free recruitment service for local businesses that want to take on new staff.
Sandwell College’s aim through #Pledge2Invest is to work with local businesses to help grow a talented workforce of the future. This will ultimately improve the life chances of people across the region.
