Milton Keynes College is pleased to announce that it has received positive praise for its apprenticeship programmes from College Inspectors at Ofsted.
The team of ten inspectors observed a range of classes and college activities and met with students, apprentices, employers and stakeholders and were impressed with what they saw and heard. They commented that: “…apprentices develop high-level practical and work related skills, teachers apply their current experience in well-planned, industry related learning activities.”
Named as one of the government’s first top-quality apprenticeship training providers earlier this year, Ofsted confirmed the College’s strong apprenticeship provision, stating that: “…apprentices develop the skills, knowledge and behaviours employers need and improve their chances of securing employment.”
Inspectors also acknowledged the strong relationships that the College has nurtured with local businesses, saying: “Leaders use their strategic links with the local enterprise partnership well to align the curriculum to business priorities, develop new provision and raise the profile of apprenticeships. Employers value their links with the College and its role in supporting the surrounding community.”
Tracey Matthews, Director of Apprenticeships at MK College explains: “We are thrilled with the outcome of the latest Ofsted inspection, which positively reflects the fantastic work that is taking place in our apprenticeships division and across the entire College.
