PRINCIPAL’S ADDRESS
I am immensely proud to present our Strategic Plan for Salford City College Group (SCCG) detailing what we hope to achieve over the next three years. The 2022-2025 Strategy presents a major opportunity to continue building on our educational framework to improve the chances, opportunities and aspirations of the people of Salford and their economic prosperity.
Salford is a thriving cultural, economic and residential location with a mixture of waterfront, urban and countryside environments, creating places where people want to live, work, study, invest and visit. As the only college in the city, it is vital that we continue to unlock talent and meet the local and national skills need. We are proud to be a World Skills Centre of Excellence and it is our mission to transform the lives of our communities and ensure we continue to ‘Level Up’ Salford.
Our College plan, for innovative and sustainable change, has been split into six strands representing key areas of the College, with a clear focus on educational excellence. At the heart of the College’s success is our students and staff who feel valued, engaged, and challenged in their inspiring and thriving surroundings.
There has been much to celebrate, including recently winning the SFCA Social Mobility Award, achieving Learning Provider of the Year for our Apprenticeships and becoming finalists in the AoC Beacon Award for Employer Engagement. We are very ambitious and will always strive for more and hope students, schools, employers, partners, stakeholders and staff will all see their priorities brought to life in our strategic plan.
