Ascentis joins Capital Connect
Ascentis is a new member of Capital Connect, a business membership network and social value initiative run by Capital City College (CCC), the largest further education college in London.
Capital Connect is CCC’s official business support network, offering organisations a practical and cost-effective way to support local education, gain valuable brand exposure amongst students, engage with the college’s senior leadership, access a growing employer network and build connections with future workforce talent.
Angela Joyce, Chief Executive Officer of Capital City College, said: “Capital Connect is about creating meaningful partnerships that benefit both businesses and our students. By joining now, organisations can play a direct role in shaping the future workforce while gaining access to fresh ideas and talent. It’s an opportunity to make a real impact where it matters most — education and skills.”
With growing numbers of young people not in education, employment or training (NEET), and skills shortages in many sectors, the College provides a wide range of courses to match almost every industry and to support individuals at different life stages. At the same time, further education colleges need increased funding to help support the progress of students and demand for top-tier training, which is where Capital Connect partners come in.
Organisations who sign up to Capital Connect get a chance to work closely with the next generation of talent who will look to these companies as top choices to apply to work for after graduation.
Chris Morgan, Commercial Director at Capital City College, said: “Employers who sign up to Capital Connect aren’t just buying into a membership network, it’s much more than that. Capital Connect is an investment into young people’s futures, and that starts with supporting further education. I can’t think of a nobler cause than that.”
Businesses can register their interest in joining the Capital Connect network online.
