Our strategy sets out what is important to our students, our communities, the employers who are our customers, and to ourselves. 
Our core purposes sit at the heart of everything we do.

Our First Purpose
To help people improve their lives through education and training...

Our Second Purpose
To enable employers to recruit and train the staff they need.

Our DNA
To meet our purposes, we have shaped our strategy around 8 strands. 
The strands don’t change. The aims and values behind them don’t change. They are our organisational DNA, woven into everything we do.
