Incorporating Bede Sixth Form College, Innersummit, NETA Training, Redcar & Cleveland College and Stockton Riverside College, we provide a full range of courses, training, and apprenticeship opportunities, as well as professional and commercial courses.
We are driven by the twin missions of empowering learners from all backgrounds and communities to achieve their full potential, and enabling employers to find and develop the workforce they need to succeed and grow. We create opportunities for our students, communities, and businesses by raising aspirations, equipping people with the skills they need for work and providing pathways to achieve rewarding careers. We also support the industry to bridge skills gaps and assist with training for key growth sectors.
