How We Work With You
NCG is one of the UK’s leading providers of education, training and employability. We have a clear purpose to unlock potential through learning and we do this through the work of our five colleges and two training providers.
Creating and developing partnerships that bridge education and business is a vital area of work for our colleges, while our two training providers work with businesses and individuals to help them unlock their potential through learning.
We offer a wide range of training programmes, from workforce development to supporting job seekers, apprenticeships to work place learning. We work with government, employers and partners to help thousands of people every year start or develop a career.
These collaborations are key to our success in supporting employers who want to invest in their workforce, or industry sectors that have major skills gaps and need specific training and skills to ensure future growth.
We work with you to create solutions that are flexible enough to fit the specific needs of your business.
We work with thousands of businesses every year from FTSE100 companies to community based SMEs.
