Work with us

When you began your studies at Kirkless College, we became partners in your learning and your future. We would love that partnership to continue and as a member of our Alumni, we are keen to work with you to ensure we continue to deliver the best learning experience and opportunities for our students.

You can support us in so many ways, including:

Inspire our students with your story. Talk them through your journey, from studying at Kirklees College to where you are today. Share the highs and lows and show them what’s possible.

Live brief

Put forward and commission a working brief for our students. This offers a real-life working experience for our students and will also help benefit your company.

Work experience

Kirklees College loves to provide real working experience for its students and your company could not only help a student get work experience, but it can also bring benefits to your company. You will be able to recruit students for voluntary work experience opportunities.

Apprenticeships

Offering an apprenticeship opportunity within your business is a great way to support and develop local talent whilst fulfilling the needs of your organisation. An apprenticeship is a three-way partnership between the employer, Kirklees College, and the apprentice.

T Level Industry Placement

Industry placements give you a chance to look at the new talent coming into your industry. They can help you by opening up the talent pool for future recruitment, improving your organisation’s productivity, and bringing new ideas to the table.
