SUPPORTING YOU

Supporting our apprentices is more important than ever. Keeping our apprentices on programme is vital, ensuring effective learning and development, whilst making sure our apprentices are safe, supported & happy. We have a strong Pastoral Team at college and our apprenticeship Pastoral Leader Sally helps a wide range of apprentices and trainees with a huge range of support needs, from financial help to mental health support and well-being.
