Apprenticeship Leader Leicester College is the largest apprenticeship provider in its city and sub region, training close to 3,000 apprentices annually across multiple sectors. This suggests strong relationships with employers and ample opportunities to expand work-based training, tailored apprenticeships, and ATA-enabled programs for new client wins.

Employer Partnerships The college emphasizes close collaboration with employer partners to design bespoke training and recruitment-to-delivery support. This presents a pathway for selling customized training solutions, off-the-shelf or tailored programs, and extended enterprise licensing or consulting to improve workforce capabilities.

Investments & Growth Recent funding rounds target Creative and Performing Arts and Computing and Digital facilities, indicating growth in these priority sectors. This creates opportunities to offer technology upgrades, digital learning platforms, simulation tools, and industry-specific training partnerships aligned with expansion plans.

Quality & Recognition Recognition for carer support and established industry-experienced staff strengthen the college’s reputation. This can be leveraged to propose employee wellbeing, inclusive education programs, and training for campus-wide care policies as value-added services for prospective corporate clients and funding bodies.

Industry Collaborations Active collaborations with external organizations (for example Lincrusta) to train specialized installers point to demand for niche, hands-on curricula and certification pathways. Sales opportunities exist in delivering partner-led training, certification programs, and expanded industry-specific skills pipelines for employers seeking skilled workforce entrants.
