Sector Advisory Groups at Preston College
In January 2024, Preston College launched its first Sector Advisory Groups, aimed at providing expert guidance on industry-specific needs and developments. These groups ensure that our curriculum aligns with the skills requirements of both the local area and specific sectors, helping to shape a workforce that is prepared for the challenges of tomorrow. Currently, we have established five advisory groups focusing on Arts & Community, Construction & the Built Environment, Education & Childcare, STEM & Automotive, and Business & Professional Services, collaborating with 33 different employers. The early impact of these groups on our curriculum and student outcomes has been highly positive, and we are excited to build on this success. We want to continue to bridge the gap between industry and academia whilst fulfilling our college vision ‘To transform lives through education.’ Looking ahead, we plan to expand this initiative by launching four additional groups in the areas of Hair & Beauty, Sport, Digital, and Health by August 2025. If you are interested in joining one of these groups, or would like to contribute to one of the established groups, please contact Linzi Monks, Director of Apprenticeships and Employer Engagement, at lmonks@preston.ac.uk
