Gower College Swansea has launched a new initiative designed to equip individuals across south west Wales with the in-demand skills needed to meet local needs and help people thrive in today’s workforce.

The Skills for the Workplace launch took place at Sketty Hall Business School and coincided with Adult Learners’ Week, making it a fitting opportunity to focus on helping adults retrain and build future skills.

Gower College Swansea is proud to announce an exciting new range of fully funded courses as part of the Skills for Swansea project, continuing its mission to empower individuals with the skills and knowledge to thrive in today’s ever-changing job market.

Are you ready to discover new opportunities and enhance your skills? Look no further than Skills for Swansea, a groundbreaking initiative spearheaded by Gower College Swansea.

Designed to empower individuals and improve employability skills for those residing or employed in Swansea, the initiative covers a diverse range of free courses* tailored to meet the evolving demands of the local economy.

Gower College Swansea is delighted to announce the availability of a brand new User Centred Design apprenticeship pathway. This new route has been designed to meet the needs of employers and skill gaps in the local area, allowing learners to gain nationally recognised qualifications whilst working and learning.
