Student Support
GC is committed to working with employers to ensure you have as much experience as possible during your time with us. On full-time courses, you will take part in work experience and projects with employers to improve your skills and employability.
You’ll have the opportunity to personalise your study programme by engaging with a wide-range of teams to support your development.
Student Mentors
Student Mentors support full-time students throughout their journey at GC. They will help students to be safe, successful and stay on-track. The support they give was highly acknowledged in our Ofsted report and is key to students attending classes and succeeding on their course.
Employability
We have a dedicated Employability Team across our three campuses that can assist students in finding external work experience and complete their continuous professional development (CPD) hours.
