New College Nottingham (ncn) has radically re-aligned its curriculum to meet the needs of business and the future growth sectors of the city.

This is contributing to the ambitious and dynamic agenda for education and training to address the skills shortages in these key sectors that might limit the future economic prosperity of the region.

The College’s mission promising to deliver excellence, employability and enterprise to present and future generations shapes its priorities and investment decisions.

Amarjit Basi, ncn Principal and Chief Executive, said: “The world is changing and qualifications alone are no longer enough, rather it is vital that we provide employers with work-ready students who can hit the ground running and be successful in today’s economic climate.

“We believe it is crucial that further education colleges work more closely with employers, local government and our communities, and ensure learners progress from courses into employment rather than leaving it to chance.”

As a member of the Gazelle Colleges Group, who are deploying entrepreneurship as a strategic driver for change in the education sector, ncn is committed to providing its students with the skills and entrepreneurial mindset to succeed.
