Cheshire College – South & West is a new College for Cheshire and results from a successful merger between South Cheshire College and West Cheshire College in March 2017. Cheshire College – South & West offers exciting opportunities for our 11,000 students and 1,300 Apprentices to access high-quality teaching and learning at our modern Campuses in Crewe, Ellesmere Port, and Chester. We aim to provide our students with the skills, experience, and qualifications to prepare them for their future career or higher-level study at the College or university. We encourage our students to become confident individuals who will make valuable contributions to businesses and the local economy in their future careers.
We pride ourselves on our strong links with local businesses of all sizes, which benefit from tailored training delivered in the workplace or at College Campuses. From our provision of a wide range of Apprenticeships such as Accountancy, Catering, Construction, Engineering, and Dental Nursing. We work with many prominent local employers across the regions, such as Bentley, Brownlow Furniture, Ecolab, Vauxhall Motors, Scottish Power, Unilever, Brunning and Price, and National Grid.
As an approved Apprenticeship provider, we can support local employers using the new Levy system to recruit and train Apprentices within their business. Our Business Development Team can also conduct a training needs analysis and make proposals for a bespoke training and development strategy for the organization while accessing businesses' financial support.
Governors make a valuable contribution to the success of the College. Their role is to determine the College's direction and strategy, be accountable for the proper use of the public funds entrusted to it and oversee the quality of all it does. Governors are appointed to one of several categories: external members who have the necessary skills to ensure the Corporation carries out the functions under Article 3 of the Articles of Government, staff, and student members. The Principal / CEO is also a governor. The governing body does not manage the College or organize its day-to-day affairs, which is the Principal / CEO's job, who is appointed by the governing body.
