Working in collaboration with our stakeholders

Our Business Breakfasts, coffee mornings, open days and student enterprise days are a way of developing professional relationships with our stakeholders. We collaborate with our Liverpool City Regional Hub Business Enterprise Coordinator to review and develop the careers programme.

Through collaboration with universities such as Liverpool Hope university, students have taken part in initiatives such as Raising aspirations days and Employer engagement days

Students engage with community projects by volunteering weekly at the Hope Centre in St Helens.

Another well-established community partnership with Earlestown Cricket Club involves the joint development of the club grounds and a sensory garden that has proved popular in maintaining community well-being.

A wide range of employers engage with the college to provide work taster days, regular work experience placements and supported internships.
