Capital City College
Capital City College (CCC), London’s largest further education provider, today released a report highlighting FE’s critical role in delivering the government’s skills agenda and driving social mobility.
In the recent Skills England’s recent Assessment of Priority Skills to 2030 report and the post-16 White Paper, it has been estimated that thousands of additional skilled workers are needed to meet economic and industrial strategy goals. This means that CCC’s report comes at an opportune time.
Launched at the Houses of Parliament, the report, produced in partnership with the Purpose Coalition, highlights CCC as a key driver of social mobility for Londoners, combining inclusive access with clear progression into skilled work and further study.
The College provides:
more than 50 mentoring programmes, including those focused on equity, diversity and inclusion.
Multiple routes for young people and adults, including A Levels, vocational pathways, T Levels, apprenticeships, higher education, and professional qualifications.
Its work experience programme mandates 70 hours for all 16-18 students, backed by employer partnerships so students gain real-world skills and networks.
Apprenticeships+ supports more than 2,000 apprentices annually and shapes provision around employer needs.
CCC’s adult retraining and upskilling offer includes hundreds of free short courses aligned to labour market demand, supporting large-scale reskilling across the capital.
Outcomes are strong, with over 94 percent progressing to a positive destination, including paid degree apprenticeships, higher education and employment.
