North Hertfordshire College (NHC) is an occupationally focused further education college with campuses in Stevenage and Hitchin.
We deliver full and part-time courses in a huge range of sectors and occupational areas. We also deliver courses for students who need additional support to complete their studies. All our courses are designed to meet the needs of employers and we work closely with them to make sure that learners leave us with the skills that employers are looking for.
COULD YOU GIVE A FUTURE?
A campaign calling on Hertfordshire-based employers to help prepare young people for work, was launched today by North Hertfordshire College, and has already received the backing of several well-known local organisations.
Give a Future aims to link up NHC students with local businesses to give young people invaluable work-place experience so they are in the best position to find work once they gain their qualifications.
The campaign coincides with the start of Love Our Colleges week, an annual event which recognizes and celebrates the positive contribution colleges make across the country to build communities, boost businesses and support individuals.
Computacenter, Herts Football Association, Lister Hospital, Stevenage Borough Council, Amazing Apprenticeships, Hitchin BID, Pebble Beauty Sanctuary, Hotel Cromwell and MHA Trembaths have all pledged to support the campaign.
