Coleg Gwent News

This National Apprenticeship Week, we’re shining a light on apprentices and breaking down everything you need to know, whether you’re a potential learner or an employer wanting to know more.

This year, our Foundation Degree Performing Arts learners had the opportunity to meet and learn from professional Welsh actors, directors, playwrights and film-makers, who shared their years of experience and knowledge through virtual sessions.

Our ICT and cybersecurity courses are designed to meet the ever-changing demands of this sector, and opportunities extend far beyond the classroom with challenges like the virtual Hackathon that ICT Systems Support learners, Jake and Lee, took part in.

As part of our courses and our work with local employers, our Art, Design and Illustration learners work on a range of live briefs with organisations you might never have considered as part of the creative sector.

Have you heard the news? One of our very own lecturers, Kate Beavan, has been honoured with an MBE for her services to agriculture.

We’re proud to have a strong connection with local employers at Coleg Gwent. We’re heading into 2021 with a new employer-led way of working and we recently collaborated with the innovative Tin Can Kitchen which was a great success!
