Southwark College hosted representatives from City & Guilds, the Technical and Vocational Training Corporation (TVTC), and Colleges of Excellence (CoE) of Saudi Arabia, with staff and students from both Southwark College and Lewisham Colleges taking part in the event.
The visit aimed to develop knowledge sharing and cooperation between the organisations, with a particular focus on investigating effective further education and training practices. The day provided an excellent opportunity for the colleges to showcase their commitment to delivering quality education and exchange insights on educational methodologies.
During the gathering, the colleges presented their innovative tools and modern facilities, emphasising the diverse opportunities available for students to excel in their future careers. The delegation from Saudi Arabia expressed keen interest in the colleges' approach, and the exchange of experiences left both sides inspired and motivated.
Staff and students helped the visiting delegation to further understand the impact of the T Level and apprenticeships, whilst also sharing the successful industry partnerships the colleges have fostered to set students up for future success in their chosen fields.
Hosting this delegation not only allowed the colleges to forge important connections with a leading TVET organisation but also opened avenues for potential future collaborations and partnerships in the field of education. Southwark College and Lewisham College remain committed to fostering connections with local and international organisations and providing students with the skills and qualifications to prepare them for their future careers.
