The college aims to provide outstanding service to its employer customers by being responsive to the needs of individual organisations and offering flexible and cost effective training solutions. The college has a primary aim of establishing longstanding and mutually beneficial relationships with local employers and encouraging their greater involvement in college activities.

Reading College works closely with its sister organisation, Oxford & Cherwell Valley College (OCVC), utilising the same employer relationship processes undertaken by OCVC as part of its achievement of the coveted Training Quality Standard – the independently verified national certification for training providers working with employers.

Many of the longstanding and successful partnerships Reading College has with its employer customers were developed from an initial contact with Employer Services staff and the team look forward to developing many more.

Simply contact Employer Services via the dedicated telephone and email contact points outlined throughout this area of the website and our team will be delighted to discuss your training needs with you.
