HIGHBURY COLLEGE
GLOBAL LEADERSHIP
Helping to establish vocational skills centres
across Nigeria to provide a sustainable solution
to training and employment for unemployed
young people
Highbury College, Portsmouth, has been selected to
partner the Federal Government of Nigeria to establish
ten new vocational skills centres that will provide training
and employment opportunities for unemployed and
underemployed young people.
The Minister of State for Education in Nigeria, Mr Ezenwo
Nyesom Wike, said the new vocational training centres
would be used as practical platforms to grow a viable
workforce to develop the economy of the nation: He stated:
“We are partnering Portsmouth’s Highbury College to
develop these new vocational and technical colleges across
the country because of their speci?c expertise.”
Highbury will share its experience of providing NEETs
(young people not in education, employment or training) in
the Portsmouth area with the skills they need to progress.
Stella Mbubaegbu CBE, Principal and Chief Executive of
Highbury College, said: “We are committed to developing
sustainable solutions that will provide the best skills and
employment opportunities for the young people of Nigeria.
These centres will be a beacon of aspiration and excellence
throughout the country. Young people who attend them will
be the industry leaders of tomorrow.”
LESOCO
CULTURE CHANGE
Ambitious training and development
programme for all staff to promote and support
entrepreneurship and employability across the
college and in the community
Maxine Room, Principal and Chief Executive of LeSoCo,
describes their entrepreneurial journey:
“LeSoCo emerged from the merger of Lewisham and
Southwark Colleges on 1st August 2012. In the ?rst year
we explored moving from transition to transformation. A
catalyst for the development of our three year strategic
plan was our involvement with the Gazelle Colleges Group
and a vision about being a college for entrepreneurship,
enterprise and employability.
“To facilitate the embedding of the Mission of ‘Creating
Successful Futures’—the vision of accountability to develop
our T-shaped students, our communities and employers—
we embarked on an ambitious customer service training
and development programme for all staff.
“This programme is ongoing with the Mary Gober company
and, although challenging, we are already seeing more than
green shoots of entrepreneurship, enterprise and education
for employability across the college. Change management
on this scale has only been possible through enabling
capacity building with other Gazelle Colleges, access to
inspiring entrepreneurs, and high quality leadership and
management development. The exciting journey continues!”

PETERBOROUGH REGIONAL COLLEGE
LEADERSHIP IN LEARNING
Bringing entrepreneurial leadership practices into
the design of new approaches to curriculum to
respond to employer needs
Angela Joyce, Principal and Chief Executive of Peterborough
Regional College, is working with three Gazelle Principals
— Matthew Burgess, Corrienne Peasgood and Cathy
Walsh—to pilot new approaches to teaching and learning
across the Group. Following work initially developed during
the ?rst Gazelle Entrepreneurial Leadership Programme,
they are leading a pilot to transform Teaching, Learning and
Assessment (TL&A) through Entrepreneurial Thought and
Action (ETA).
They are convening guiding teams across the Gazelle Colleges
Group to test a number of models and approaches to deliver
a transformed curriculum. This is helping them to obtain a
detailed and systematic view of how to address challenges
presented by the new employer-led agenda.
The group engaged with senior curriculum leaders in London in
October to discuss pedagogy and curriculum transformation.
They made excellent progress in developing a new approach
to the measurement of some of the broader employability
and life skills that Gazelle Colleges Group describes as
entrepreneurship. A workshop based on IDEO Design Thinker
training from the leadership programme will be held in
December 2013 to assess proposals and developments.
NEW COLLEGE NOTTINGHAM
NOTTINGHAM MOTOR COMPANY
A new type of subsidiary company run as a fully
operational commercial enterprise combining
business and customer interface skills with
training and quali?cations
New College Nottingham has taken over a car dealership
to help young people start their careers in the car business.
The college has bought the Co-operative Motor Group
garage in Sherwood to train students and apprentices
in the motor trade. It will be renamed Nottingham Motor
Company and will be a subsidiary company linked to the
college—the ?rst of its kind in the UK.
Nottingham Motor Company provides apprenticeship
and work experience opportunities including back of?ce
services such as administration, accountancy, HR and
marketing. It has extensive, fully accredited, workshop
facilities, a showroom and ?rst ?oor of?ce space for
classrooms. It is anticipated that the company will offer a
total of 26,100 real commercial experience hours to learners
in 2013/14.
Michael Wisher, Director of Nottingham Motor Company,
comments: “I am very excited to be involved in this venture,
bringing education and a commercial environment together
to give today’s students real employability skills as well as
a quali?cation. I’m con?dent that this will help students to
maximise their potential and their opportunities.”
THE CITY OF LIVERPOOL COLLEGE
BREAD & MORE
A Learning Company run by students as a
commercial business and learning environment,
employing and training 15 full-time and up to 70
part-time students
The City of Liverpool College is planning to become
an incubator for new small businesses in Merseyside.
Students of all ages and backgrounds are being supported
with the basic skill sets they need for their chosen ?eld of
work plus the business skills they require to start up their
own business.
Jayne Worthington, assistant principal commercial and
business development, points to the example of bakery
business Bread & More based at St George’s Hall:
“The Bread & More concept is a learning company. It’s
a business and a classroom. Last year, students had to
keep the business running while they dealt with a ?ood.
They had to be innovative and proactive around serving
and keeping customers whilst dealing with the repairs. It
was a real business experience and personal development
opportunity. You can’t teach that in a classroom.”
COMMERCIAL
LEARNING
“It was a real business experience and

You can’t teach that in a classroom.”
ACTIVATE LEARNING
4ONE1
A new curriculum model based on a 6-week
repeating ‘pulse’ model to develop broader skills
by combining learning, ‘live’ enterprise activities,
and review and ‘stretch’ opportunities
4one1 is a pioneering new curriculum model. To provide
better preparation for a career, it builds independent
learning and commercial enterprise activities into the
teaching and learning programme. The academic year is
divided into 6-week intervals referred to as a 6-week pulse.
The model comprises four weeks of teaching and
learning, one week of ‘live’ enterprise activities, and one
week of review and stretch opportunities. In week six—
Enterprise and Employability—students work collaboratively
on a range of enterprise projects. Careful planning by
cross-college curriculum teams ensures that preparatory
work is embedded within the preceding weeks enabling
students to apply and develop enterprise and employability
skills in week six.
During the 4one1 pilot, the college identi?ed improved
retention, attendance and achievement rates.
CARDIFF & VALE COLLEGE
THE MARKET MAKER EXPERIENCE
The inclusion of the Market Maker Experience
into the Welsh Baccalaureate to give more
students an opportunity to discover new skills
and abilities through enterprise
Cardiff and Vale College have integrated the Market
Maker Experience ‘real’ business competition into the
Welsh Baccalaureate as the criteria for team enterprise.
They are supporting the involvement of students and tutors
with dedicated timetabled sessions for each group to
develop their businesses and to engage with all aspects of
the competition.
Tania Davies, Senior Entrepreneurship Development
Of?cer, said: “It has proved to be very successful for the
participating students, with one student telling the judging
panel that she would never have taken part in a competition
such as this if it hadn’t been for Welsh Baccalaureate. She
talked about how it had opened her eyes to what she can
achieve by revealing skills she didn’t realise she had.”
The competitive spirit of the tutors involved was pivotal
as well, inspired by an opportunity to represent the college
at the Institute of Directors ?nal and, ultimately, on a trip to
New York.

NORTH HERTFORDSHIRE COLLEGE
BIG STUDENT TAKEOVER
A unique and highly successful programme for
students to run local enterprises, experience a
range of real business skills and demands, and
earn access to employment opportunities
Students from North Hertfordshire College ran their local
newspaper for one week during May 2013. To gain a place
on the Big Student Takeover, students were tasked with
designing the college’s summer promotion campaign
which would feature across the Archant Herts and Cambs
newspaper group and on its website.
The students had to develop and prove their skills in every
aspect of publishing a newspaper. They experienced
the excitement and commercial urgency of a newspaper
environment, applying their individual skills within a real
business context that included strict deadlines, long days
and learning how to collaborate and how to lead. Mark
Waymouth, Digital Sales Manager at Archant and student
mentor, said: “The degree to which students developed
both personally and professionally during this real business
experience took us all by surprise. We are now working with
North Hertfordshire College to open up this opportunity to
more students with other local businesses.”
Two students won three-month paid internships over the
summer, with one student gaining the con?dence to pursue
her abandonded childhood dream of becoming a journalist.
Archant were suf?ciently impressed with a third student to
offer him a full-time job.
WARWICKSHIRE COLLEGE
ENTREPRENEURIAL EDUCATOR
A ‘Transformational Learning’ induction
programme introducing experiential and design
thinking techniques to transition staff from
subject expert to entrepreneurial educator
Warwickshire College initiated its Transformational
Learning development programme in July 2012 following
participation in the Symposium for Entrepreneurial
Educators at Babson College, Massachusetts. Its aim is
to take teachers on a development journey from subject
expert, through skilled practitioner and enterprising
teacher, to entrepreneurial educator.
Members of the College Leadership Team ran four one-
day training sessions to introduce teaching staff to new
concepts for transforming teaching and learning. 338
members of teaching staff attended one of the training days
which was delivered at three of the College’s centres. Since
September 2012, new teachers joining Warwickshire College
have participated in the Transformational Learning induction
which is in three parts delivered over an academic year.
The programme provides a thorough introduction to
entrepreneurial learning for all new staff, demonstrating the
openness of the college to new ideas and approaches in
curriculum development and delivery.

GAZELLE STEM CENTRE
A recently opened Gazelle STEM Centre at the

Barking and Dagenham College’s new Gazelle STEM Centre
is a state-of-the-art, purpose built, creative space that can
cater for 30 students at any one time. It will revolutionise
the teaching and learning of STEM subjects in which the UK
has an acknowledged skills shortage. The Centre will run a
series of activity days for both college students and local
schools, including one inspired by the popular TV drama CSI:
Crime Scene Investigation.
Cathy Walsh, Principal and Chief Executive of Barking
and Dagenham College, said: “This is an exciting time for
our area of East London, and its role in the development
of the STEM economy, especially with the plans for the
development of the Sano?-Aventis site and its potential for
attracting more STEM industries, and consequently more
STEM jobs, to our area. The Mayor of London is prioritising
the development of more STEM-related careers for our
capital, which means our young people need the right skills
and expertise so they can bene?t from these new work
opportunities. It’s why Barking and Dagenham College has
built the only Gazelle STEM Centre within the M25.”
The Centre was launched on the same day as the new
Gazelle STEM Centre at North Hertfordshire College.

CITY COLLEGE PLYMOUTH
APPRENTICESHIP TRAINING AGENCY
Plymouth’s ?rst multi-sector apprenticeship
training agency, responding to the needs of local
employers and helping smaller businesses to
bene?t from apprenticeships
Plymouth City Council and City College Plymouth have
launched a new venture, the Apprenticeship Training Agency.
It helps smaller businesses to bene?t from taking on an
apprentice without employing them. Small businesses often
?nd the ?nancial investment of taking on an apprentice
prohibitive, or believe that they cannot provide a varied or rich
enough experience for a full time apprenticeship position.
The advantage of an apprenticeship with the ATA is that the
apprentice will be employed by the agency and placed with an
appropriate employer. Potentially, an apprentice could have
more than one employer to ensure they are able to complete
a full apprenticeship framework through their placements,
either concurrently or consecutively.
Phil Davies, Principal and Chief Executive of City College
Plymouth, said: “As a Gazelle College Principal, I have publicly
stated my commitment to developing enterprise and
entrepreneurship. The ATA is about the college responding
to the needs of its local employers in an enterprising way,
and enabling local small businesses to really pursue their
entrepreneurial vision while sharing this with the next
generation of entrepreneurs.”
STOW COLLEGE
GAZELLE LOCAL
A combined launch of Gazelle Local, a new

Stow College is the only Scottish member of the Gazelle

MSP, Education Secretary, it launched Gazelle Local and a
new Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning.
Gazelle Local brings together the exceptional experience
of entrepreneurs who have succeeded in business with
local education and business leaders to empower individual
colleges at the heart of their local economic eco-systems.
The Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning encourages local
businesses to work with Stow College to produce and
support a new generation of enterprising students who will
help build Glasgow’s economic prosperity.
Stow College has already started transforming the learner
experience and enhancing the entrepreneurial culture within
the college through the introduction of national enterprise
competitions and projects and the establishment of
Scotland’s ?rst Peter Jones Enterprise Academy.

The inaugural Peter Jones Enterprise Academy was
established at Amersham & Wycombe College in 2009
offering courses in enterprise and entrepreneurship including
students setting up and running their own businesses.
To make the course as commercial and relevant as possible,
PJEA has brought the boardroom into the classroom
with a signi?cant part of the syllabus being delivered
by visiting guest speakers from industry (for example
trademark experts, tax specialists, social media pioneers).
There are also termly master classes from well-known
entrepreneurs—such as David and Vanessa Gold of West
Ham and Ann Summers, and Paul Lindley of Ella’s Kitchen—
all of whom have inspired learners with tales of failure and
frustration on their road to success.
The course also involves monthly business surgeries
where learners have one to one meetings with business
people to discuss their ideas and get advice. All learners are
able to pitch their business ideas, Dragon’s Den style, to a
panel of investors.
CITY COLLEGE NORWICH
THE STARTUP LOUNGE
A unique interactive learning space giving all

The StartUp Lounge, an ambitious facility for developing and
supporting enterprise and entrepreneurship skills, was opened
at City College Norwich in February 2012. It is a unique,
experiential, fun, and interactive learning space dedicated to
student development.
Students can engage in business, equip themselves with the
skills to get their ideal job, or start up their own successful
business. It is all about developing StartUp senses and
skills, having fun learning about how business really
works, and ?nding out where their talents lie. The StartUp
team is available to help guide, inspire and develop the
entrepreneurial skills that students need.
Corrienne Peasgood, Principal of City College Norwich, said:
“The StartUp Lounge, together with the work of our partner
Gazelle Colleges, is about transforming further education and
helping to create the start-up businesses needed for future
growth. Our students are already making fantastic use of the

They are currently involved in the development and
delivery of a social media survey. The survey will challenge
assumptions about how students use social media
to ensure that Gazelle students have easy access to
information that provides support and development
opportunities for themselves and their peers. Students
at the college have also bid for and won employment
opportunities within the college.
Gloucestershire College, in partnership with the local

Matthew Pegden and Megan Kirk—impressed the panel and
were named winners with an opportunity to visit to fair trade
farmers and factory workers in India.
Mike Hopkins, Chief Executive of Middlesbrough Gateshead
College Confederation, said it was a magni?cent achievement:
“We had every con?dence in the team and they have proved
themselves to be a remarkable group of young people.” Tom
Metcalfe, Middlesbrough College Projects Coordinator, said:
“The judges said their pitch was wonderful—full of imagination

GLOBAL LEADERSHIP
Helping to establish vocational skills centres
across Nigeria to provide a sustainable solution
to training and employment for unemployed
young people
Highbury College, Portsmouth, has been selected to
partner the Federal Government of Nigeria to establish
ten new vocational skills centres that will provide training
and employment opportunities for unemployed and
underemployed young people.
The Minister of State for Education in Nigeria, Mr Ezenwo
Nyesom Wike, said the new vocational training centres
would be used as practical platforms to grow a viable
workforce to develop the economy of the nation: He stated:
“We are partnering Portsmouth’s Highbury College to
develop these new vocational and technical colleges across
the country because of their speci?c expertise.”
Highbury will share its experience of providing NEETs
(young people not in education, employment or training) in
the Portsmouth area with the skills they need to progress.
Stella Mbubaegbu CBE, Principal and Chief Executive of
Highbury College, said: “We are committed to developing
sustainable solutions that will provide the best skills and
employment opportunities for the young people of Nigeria.
These centres will be a beacon of aspiration and excellence
throughout the country. Young people who attend them will
be the industry leaders of tomorrow.”

Ambitious training and development
programme for all staff to promote and support

Maxine Room, Principal and Chief Executive of LeSoCo,
describes their entrepreneurial journey:
“LeSoCo emerged from the merger of Lewisham and
Southwark Colleges on 1st August 2012. In the ?rst year
we explored moving from transition to transformation. A
catalyst for the development of our three year strategic
plan was our involvement with the Gazelle Colleges Group
and a vision about being a college for entrepreneurship,
enterprise and employability.
“To facilitate the embedding of the Mission of ‘Creating
Successful Futures’—the vision of accountability to develop
our T-shaped students, our communities and employers—
we embarked on an ambitious customer service training
and development programme for all staff.
“This programme is ongoing with the Mary Gober company
and, although challenging, we are already seeing more than
green shoots of entrepreneurship, enterprise and education
for employability across the college. Change management
on this scale has only been possible through enabling
capacity building with other Gazelle Colleges, access to
inspiring entrepreneurs, and high quality leadership and
management development. The exciting journey continues!”

Bringing entrepreneurial leadership practices into
the design of new approaches to curriculum to
respond to employer needs
Angela Joyce, Principal and Chief Executive of Peterborough
Regional College, is working with three Gazelle Principals
— Matthew Burgess, Corrienne Peasgood and Cathy
Walsh—to pilot new approaches to teaching and learning
across the Group. Following work initially developed during
the ?rst Gazelle Entrepreneurial Leadership Programme,
they are leading a pilot to transform Teaching, Learning and
Assessment (TL&A) through Entrepreneurial Thought and
Action (ETA).
They are convening guiding teams across the Gazelle Colleges
Group to test a number of models and approaches to deliver
a transformed curriculum. This is helping them to obtain a
detailed and systematic view of how to address challenges
presented by the new employer-led agenda.
The group engaged with senior curriculum leaders in London in
October to discuss pedagogy and curriculum transformation.
They made excellent progress in developing a new approach
to the measurement of some of the broader employability
and life skills that Gazelle Colleges Group describes as
entrepreneurship. A workshop based on IDEO Design Thinker
training from the leadership programme will be held in
December 2013 to assess proposals and developments.
NEW COLLEGE NOTTINGHAM
NOTTINGHAM MOTOR COMPANY
A new type of subsidiary company run as a fully
operational commercial enterprise combining
business and customer interface skills with
training and quali?cations
New College Nottingham has taken over a car dealership
to help young people start their careers in the car business.
The college has bought the Co-operative Motor Group
garage in Sherwood to train students and apprentices
in the motor trade. It will be renamed Nottingham Motor
Company and will be a subsidiary company linked to the
college—the ?rst of its kind in the UK.
Nottingham Motor Company provides apprenticeship
and work experience opportunities including back of?ce
services such as administration, accountancy, HR and
marketing. It has extensive, fully accredited, workshop
facilities, a showroom and ?rst ?oor of?ce space for
classrooms. It is anticipated that the company will offer a
total of 26,100 real commercial experience hours to learners
in 2013/14.
Michael Wisher, Director of Nottingham Motor Company,
comments: “I am very excited to be involved in this venture,
bringing education and a commercial environment together
to give today’s students real employability skills as well as
a quali?cation. I’m con?dent that this will help students to
maximise their potential and their opportunities.”
THE CITY OF LIVERPOOL COLLEGE
BREAD & MORE
A Learning Company run by students as a
commercial business and learning environment,
employing and training 15 full-time and up to 70
part-time students
The City of Liverpool College is planning to become
an incubator for new small businesses in Merseyside.
Students of all ages and backgrounds are being supported
with the basic skill sets they need for their chosen ?eld of
work plus the business skills they require to start up their
own business.
Jayne Worthington, assistant principal commercial and
business development, points to the example of bakery
business Bread & More based at St George’s Hall:
“The Bread & More concept is a learning company. It’s
a business and a classroom. Last year, students had to
keep the business running while they dealt with a ?ood.
They had to be innovative and proactive around serving
and keeping customers whilst dealing with the repairs. It
was a real business experience and personal development
opportunity. You can’t teach that in a classroom.”

4ONE1
A new curriculum model based on a 6-week
repeating ‘pulse’ model to develop broader skills
by combining learning, ‘live’ enterprise activities,
and review and ‘stretch’ opportunities
4one1 is a pioneering new curriculum model. To provide
better preparation for a career, it builds independent
learning and commercial enterprise activities into the
teaching and learning programme. The academic year is
divided into 6-week intervals referred to as a 6-week pulse.
The model comprises four weeks of teaching and
learning, one week of ‘live’ enterprise activities, and one
week of review and stretch opportunities. In week six—
Enterprise and Employability—students work collaboratively
on a range of enterprise projects. Careful planning by
cross-college curriculum teams ensures that preparatory
work is embedded within the preceding weeks enabling
students to apply and develop enterprise and employability
skills in week six.
During the 4one1 pilot, the college identi?ed improved
retention, attendance and achievement rates.
CARDIFF & VALE COLLEGE
THE MARKET MAKER EXPERIENCE
The inclusion of the Market Maker Experience
into the Welsh Baccalaureate to give more
students an opportunity to discover new skills
and abilities through enterprise
Cardiff and Vale College have integrated the Market
Maker Experience ‘real’ business competition into the
Welsh Baccalaureate as the criteria for team enterprise.
They are supporting the involvement of students and tutors
with dedicated timetabled sessions for each group to
develop their businesses and to engage with all aspects of
the competition.
Tania Davies, Senior Entrepreneurship Development
Of?cer, said: “It has proved to be very successful for the
participating students, with one student telling the judging
panel that she would never have taken part in a competition
such as this if it hadn’t been for Welsh Baccalaureate. She
talked about how it had opened her eyes to what she can
achieve by revealing skills she didn’t realise she had.”
The competitive spirit of the tutors involved was pivotal
as well, inspired by an opportunity to represent the college
at the Institute of Directors ?nal and, ultimately, on a trip to
New York.

NORTH HERTFORDSHIRE COLLEGE
BIG STUDENT TAKEOVER
A unique and highly successful programme for
students to run local enterprises, experience a
range of real business skills and demands, and
earn access to employment opportunities
Students from North Hertfordshire College ran their local
newspaper for one week during May 2013. To gain a place
on the Big Student Takeover, students were tasked with
designing the college’s summer promotion campaign
which would feature across the Archant Herts and Cambs
newspaper group and on its website.
The students had to develop and prove their skills in every
aspect of publishing a newspaper. They experienced
the excitement and commercial urgency of a newspaper
environment, applying their individual skills within a real
business context that included strict deadlines, long days
and learning how to collaborate and how to lead. Mark
Waymouth, Digital Sales Manager at Archant and student
mentor, said: “The degree to which students developed
both personally and professionally during this real business
experience took us all by surprise. We are now working with
North Hertfordshire College to open up this opportunity to
more students with other local businesses.”
Two students won three-month paid internships over the
summer, with one student gaining the con?dence to pursue
her abandonded childhood dream of becoming a journalist.
Archant were suf?ciently impressed with a third student to
offer him a full-time job.

Warwickshire College initiated its Transformational
Learning development programme in July 2012 following
participation in the Symposium for Entrepreneurial
Educators at Babson College, Massachusetts. Its aim is
to take teachers on a development journey from subject
expert, through skilled practitioner and enterprising
teacher, to entrepreneurial educator.
Members of the College Leadership Team ran four one-
day training sessions to introduce teaching staff to new
concepts for transforming teaching and learning. 338
members of teaching staff attended one of the training days
which was delivered at three of the College’s centres. Since
September 2012, new teachers joining Warwickshire College
have participated in the Transformational Learning induction
which is in three parts delivered over an academic year.
The programme provides a thorough introduction to
entrepreneurial learning for all new staff, demonstrating the
openness of the college to new ideas and approaches in
curriculum development and delivery.

series of activity days for both college students and local
schools, including one inspired by the popular TV drama CSI:
Crime Scene Investigation.
Cathy Walsh, Principal and Chief Executive of Barking

our area of East London, and its role in the development
of the STEM economy, especially with the plans for the
development of the Sano?-Aventis site and its potential for
attracting more STEM industries, and consequently more
STEM jobs, to our area. The Mayor of London is prioritising
the development of more STEM-related careers for our
capital, which means our young people need the right skills
and expertise so they can bene?t from these new work
opportunities. It’s why Barking and Dagenham College has
built the only Gazelle STEM Centre within the M25.”
The Centre was launched on the same day as the new
Gazelle STEM Centre at North Hertfordshire College.

CITY COLLEGE PLYMOUTH
APPRENTICESHIP TRAINING AGENCY
Plymouth’s ?rst multi-sector apprenticeship
training agency, responding to the needs of local
employers and helping smaller businesses to
bene?t from apprenticeships
Plymouth City Council and City College Plymouth have
launched a new venture, the Apprenticeship Training Agency.
It helps smaller businesses to bene?t from taking on an
apprentice without employing them. Small businesses often
?nd the ?nancial investment of taking on an apprentice
prohibitive, or believe that they cannot provide a varied or rich
enough experience for a full time apprenticeship position.
The advantage of an apprenticeship with the ATA is that the
apprentice will be employed by the agency and placed with an
appropriate employer. Potentially, an apprentice could have
more than one employer to ensure they are able to complete
a full apprenticeship framework through their placements,
either concurrently or consecutively.
Phil Davies, Principal and Chief Executive of City College
Plymouth, said: “As a Gazelle College Principal, I have publicly
stated my commitment to developing enterprise and
entrepreneurship. The ATA is about the college responding
to the needs of its local employers in an enterprising way,
and enabling local small businesses to really pursue their
entrepreneurial vision while sharing this with the next
generation of entrepreneurs.”

all of whom have inspired learners with tales of failure and
frustration on their road to success.
The course also involves monthly business surgeries
where learners have one to one meetings with business
people to discuss their ideas and get advice. All learners are
able to pitch their business ideas, Dragon’s Den style, to a
