A s Principal, it gives me great pleasure to introduce you to Preston College and to the outstanding opportunities we offer for our aspiring apprentices. We are one of Lancashire’s leading apprenticeship training providers, welcoming over a thousand apprentices on programme every year across a full range of industry sectors. We take immense pride in our track record of providing learners with high-quality apprenticeships that set them on the path to success. Our commitment to excellence in technical education is reflected in the achievements of our apprentices, helping them to be ready to make meaningful contributions in their chosen industries. Central to our college success are the long- standing relationships that we have established with employers, from the self-employed and SMEs, to large corporate and international organisations. These partnerships are the cornerstone of our apprenticeship programmes, ensuring that our curriculum remains relevant, responsive, innovative, and aligned with the evolving needs of our local businesses. Through these close collaborations with employers, we are able to continuously refine and update our curriculum and ensure that our apprentices are equipped with the most current and in-demand skills, including the latest industry trends and technological advancements.
Our core values underpin everything we do: aspiration, inclusivity, support, integrity and accountability - all designed to ensure excellence. These values inform our teaching, our interactions with learners and employers, and our ongoing commitment to creating an environment where everyone can thrive and succeed. As you look through this course guide, I encourage you to read the many case studies and take note of the employers with whom we are proud to work. Whether you are a new learner embarking on your educational journey or an adult looking to change your career through an apprenticeship, or looking to upskill in your current job role, we have an apprenticeship programme for you, and we are ready to support you every step of the way.
