Harrogate College

Introducing the Harrogate College Employers’ Network

Harrogate College values the input of local employers, and believes that they should shape the skills and training of the future workforce.

The Harrogate College Employers’ Network will be an opportunity for employers to influence the content of the college’s courses so that they are provided with what they need.

Joining the network involves participating in discussion groups quarterly and this involvement brings a multitude of benefits.

We are excited to share details here about our new Student-Workers programme.

This has been put together to allow employers to hire directly from the college on a part-time basis, which fits around students’ studies.

The scheme, which launches in September, has been made in direct response to feedback we’ve had from local businesses. It will benefit both the employers, by fulfilling their staffing needs, and our students, who will accrue invaluable work experience.

The initiative will be focused on some of Harrogate’s core industries – hospitality, health and social care. If you’d like to be involved and attend an event where you can interview and hire students, please get in touch with danny.wild@harrogate.ac.uk.
