Support economic growth in the region by providing relevant training and development for the existing workforce, and by working in partnership to create a sustainable, demandled skills pipeline for the future.

4 People-How do we achieve this? Consultation We inform our curriculum and training provision by consultation with employers, [e.g. holding sector specific Employer Board events, and generating in-depth Labour Market Intelligence Learner Engagement We provide work placements and other opportunities for learners and employers to interact. We create links that enable learners to progress [ e.g. introducing learners to employers and encouraging employers to recruit from the college ]. Capture Learners aspirations, support and develop career pathways and provide Advice and Guidance to support their career choice. Services We provide training and other services directly to employers [e.g. open and bespoke courses, providing facilities and catering, sponsorship marketing and providing networking opportunities] Contribute We contribute to the future vision and development of the region by early engagement with local influencers [ e.g. active memberships of Cardiff Business Council, board membership at both Enterprise Zones, working with Welsh Government to support Inward Investment etc].
