Employer Links
The College has strong relations with local and national business networks and other
stakeholders which inform strategic decision making on curriculum offer. Senior
personnel attendance at strategic network groups such as Tameside Enterprise Group,
Tameside Business Collaboration Group, Greater Manchester Chamber, BACH and other
regional and sub-group meetings e.g. National Forum for Engineering Centres, Sector
Skills meetings; leads to specific local intelligence on the performance of companies
which influences specific curriculum developments.
