Business

Through our dedicated Business Development Unit Writtle College is able to support companies to access our wealth of knowledge, facilities and services to benefit the business community. We can help you access the right type of expertise, whether you require assistance in developing your people, products or processes to increase your competitiveness, grow your business or to overcome a specific challenge.

Working collaboratively with Higher Education institutes can add real value to large and small businesses alike. Writtle College has developed a national reputation for working with micro-companies and SME's as well as large well known multi-nationals.

We combine the academic rigour and long term perspective of a Higher Education Institution (HEI), with the flexible, vocational and business focus of a Further Education Institution (FEI). This enables us to work closely with our clients to address business issues and to apply a unique mix of scientific and management expertise to find solutions to their problems.

Our specialist products and services include:

• Contract research and consultancy
• Part-funded graduate placement projects through initiatives such as Knowledge Transfer Partnership
• Sponsorship opportunities for bespoke student projects offering real commercial payback from low levels of investment
• Tailored training for both land-based subjects and design.
• Popular industry short course training, including vital statutory requirements for business
• Work-based learning/training including Apprenticeships and NVQ's
• World class conference facilities, training rooms and accommodation in a beautiful setting
