Apprenticeship Partnerships The college has won an apprenticeship award in May 2026 and partnered with NSAFD in 2025 and Nice-Pak in 2021 to run engineering apprenticeships. This indicates strong employer engagement and ongoing demand for apprenticeship management, training services, and work-based learning solutions.

Degree Expansion With University Centre status enabling degrees awarded by UCLan and a growing higher education portfolio, there is potential to partner in student recruitment, marketing services for degree programs, online learning platforms, and student information system enhancements.

Campus Technology Needs Multiple sites in Wigan and Leigh imply needs for integrated campus systems, IT infrastructure upgrades, LMS deployment, data analytics, cybersecurity, and network optimization, presenting opportunities for software licensing, cloud services, and digital training.

Engineering Equipment Partnerships Past partnerships with Nice-Pak and Global Survey Equipment, plus a focus on engineering vocational training, point to opportunities for lab and equipment suppliers, CAD/CAM and surveying software licenses, staff training on Autodesk tools, and sponsored facilities.

Growth Potential Revenue range 10-25M and 500-1000 employees indicate a mid-market institution with room for scalable solutions such as enterprise LMS, CRM, talent management, marketing automation, and funded education projects, making it a viable long-term partner.
