Employer Skills Forum

We Care

About supporting the future ambitions of our students

We Collaborate

We ensure our programmes are industry ready.

We Champion

Diversity, Inclusion and Opportunity for all.

We Challenge

We consistently challenge ourselves to improve our offer and services.

Our Employer Skills Forums act as Industry Advisory Boards, bringing employers and curriculum leaders together to shape what we teach and how we deliver it.

These forums are not symbolic. They are working groups that directly influence curriculum design, student progression, and how well we respond to industry change. Their role is to make sure Stanmore College stays aligned with real workforce needs across sectors and age groups.

What the Forums Do

Members of the Employer Skills Forums:

Advise, challenge and inform curriculum leaders as part of the College’s business planning cycle
Strengthen our position in specialist areas through their professional expertise
Build two way relationships between the College, employers, industry and government
Act as ambassadors for the College regionally and nationally
Identify gaps in local skills provision and emerging workforce needs
Provide insight into the changing local and strategic landscape to guide future planning

The result is simple. A curriculum shaped by employers, informed by local demand, and focused on preparing students for real progression into work.

If you want to influence the skills pipeline, shape curriculum decisions and have a direct impact on future talent, we want to hear from you.
