Why Work With Croydon College? 

As one of the region’s anchor institutions, we are: 

• Deeply embedded in the local economy 
• Actively supporting Croydon’s regeneration and long-term prosperity 
• Focused on aligning our training with real industry needs 
• Committed to collaboration, innovation and impact 

We believe skills are the foundation of strong communities — and we’re here to make sure our students are not only qualified but truly prepared for the modern workforce. 

Connect. Collaborate. Create Opportunity. 

We host two flagship event series that bring employers and stakeholders together to drive change, solve skills challenges, and shape the future workforce: 

Employment & Skills Stakeholder Networking Events 

Held quarterly, these high-impact events bring together: 

• Local employers 
• Croydon Council and regional authorities 
• DWP and other government bodies 
• Education providers 
• Community and voluntary sector organisations 

These sessions offer a platform to: 

• Discuss local employment trends 
• Address skills gaps and community needs 
• Foster partnerships that lead to real-world outcomes 

If you’re passionate about the future of Croydon, you need to be in the room. 

Employer Skills Forums 

Also running quarterly, these focused forums bring employers and curriculum teams together to: 

• Explore sector-specific recruitment needs 
• Identify current and emerging skills gaps 
• Help shape course content and delivery 
• Develop opportunities for work placements, live briefs, and co-designed projects 

From construction and engineering to health, digital, and creative industries — our forums make sure what we teach aligns with what you need. 

These partnerships help our students gain meaningful, hands-on experience — and give you access to the next generation of trained, job-ready talent. 

Let’s Start the Conversation 

Whether you’re looking to influence training, access emerging talent, or build your business’s future workforce — we’re here to work with you.
