Talent development Oaklands College runs Oaklands Training and Development, offering tailored employability schemes, training programmes, and apprenticeships for organisations of all sizes. This presents a sales opportunity to propose customised corporate learning solutions, sector-specific apprenticeships, and workforce upskilling packages for local employers and partner businesses.

Industry engagement The college hosts and collaborates with employers through events like the Employer Celebration Event and highlights partnerships with industry bodies. There is potential to sponsor or participate in industry-aligned programs, work placements, and co-branded apprenticeship pathways to deepen corporate ties and secure contract training work.

Facilities use Oaklands offers commercial services such as venue hire and community-focused facilities, plus a High-Performance Centre. This creates opportunities to market event hosting, corporate training sessions, team-building activities, and rental of training labs or sports facilities to companies seeking off-site learning or experiential programs.

Community reach With a working farm and zoo at the St Albans campus and community access, Oaklands presents a distinct experiential education angle. This can be leveraged to sell experiential learning packages, CSR-aligned programs, school and family engagement offerings, and sponsorships around community activities.

Recognition potential Recent accolades for outstanding contribution to business and client partnerships indicate strong industry credibility. Leverage awards in outreach to potential corporate clients, positioning Oaklands as a trusted supplier for workforce development, accredited training, and long-term educational partnerships.
