Partnerships and Affiliations
The Prince's Trust tackles issues such as youth unemployment and youth crime, by giving practical and financial support to young people who need it most. They help develop key skills, confidence and motivation, enabling young people to move in to work, education or training. The College works with the Prince's Trust to deliver the Prince's Trust Team Programme at the Enfield Centre. Young people can make a fresh start by embarking on a 12-week personal development course which aims to fine-tune new skills and uncover hidden talents. Team members gain a nationally recognised qualification while increasing their employability.
The Training Quality Standard recognises and celebrates the best organisations delivering training to employers. The College has received a TQS award for all of our training, with an 'excellent' grading in Health and Care. It is a tough award to win and identifies us as a trusted partner for the delivery of training to employers.
