How We Work With You
NCG is one of the UK’s leading providers of education, training and employability. We have a clear mission to ‘enable social mobility and economic prosperity through exceptional education’ and we do this through the work of our seven colleges.
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.
When you work with us it’s a
collaboration and your input is invaluable.
We work with industry and government to address major skills gaps and train the next generation so your business never has to take its foot off the pedal.
We believe in two way conversation and then letting the quality of our work speak for itself.
We value and invest in our employees so that they remain at the top of their game and provide you with the highest level of customer service possible.
