Summary
- Lincoln College Group and University of Lincoln partner for defence sector.
- Focus on clearer pathways for skills, innovation, and employment.
- Plans to map career routes and develop apprenticeship opportunities.
A new partnership between Lincoln College Group and the University of Lincoln is set to enhance skills, innovation, and employment within the defence and security sector. This collaboration aims to simplify the transition between further and higher education and into the workforce.
The initial step involves mapping out distinct career pathways, illustrating how individuals can acquire qualifications while serving in the armed forces or working in the defence industry. This initiative will also explore broadened and simplified apprenticeship programs, alongside research and commercial training opportunities.
This collaboration is designed to ensure students have guided pathways through both institutions. Furthermore, by working closely with employers, the university and college group intend to precisely identify the evolving skills needs within Lincolnshire, contributing to the region's long-term economic growth. Broader ambitions include extending this partnership model to other vital sectors like agriculture and health.
