South Yorkshire Colleges Partnership (SYCP) which includes DN Colleges Group, Sheffield College, Barnsley College, and RNN Group, have jointly entered a collaboration with Sheffield Hallam University to tackle regional skills challenges, particularly in the field of Higher Technical Qualifications (HTQs).

This collaborative initiative, supported by a £1.3 million grant from the Skills Injection Fund, emphasises a unified effort among South Yorkshire colleges and Sheffield Hallam University, which is instrumental in propelling the region’s inclusive growth aspirations.

Dan Wilson – Vice Principal for Business Growth, Skills and Partnerships said:

‘We are delighted to be part of this collaboration and the benefits it is set to bring to both Doncaster as a city and South Yorkshire as a region.  Providers in South Yorkshire have worked in partnership for many years and built a strong foundation for such an alliance, which this agreement further cements’

The collaborative endeavour, which involves 7,500 employers and serves over 66,000 learners, showcases a united approach that aligns inclusivity with productivity. This joint approach is poised to enhance the skills of the region’s workforce, serving as a driving force behind economic growth and creating expanded opportunities for everyone in the region.
