CCCG awarded Beacon Standard and Commended Status in two award areas by the Association of Colleges

CCCG celebrates commendation in two categories for the Association of Colleges 2023/24 Beacon Awards

Capital City College Group (CCCG) is delighted to announce that it has achieved Beacon Standard and received Commended Status in two award areas for the Association of Colleges (AoC) 2023/24 Beacon Awards.

CCCG joins a host of prestigious colleges in being commended in two award areas. The college group has been recognised for its high level of innovation, impact and sustainability in the following categories:

• The City & Guilds Award for College Engagement with Employers 
• The AoC Award for Widening Participation

The City & Guilds Award for College Engagement with Employers commendation recognises CCCG’s innovative approach to offering high-quality, industry-led, responsive training to Londoners, with a thoughtful and collaborative approach to reaching under-represented groups within the Digital and Creative industries. CCCG has established meaningful relationships with external stakeholders, from tech industry leaders to local associations, and continues to connect learners with employers through training, internships, placements and live projects.

The AoC Award for Widening Participation commendation is a reflection of CCCG’s unique policy of offering all adults free education up to Level 2 via a range of short courses ranging from digital skills to massage. The 620 available courses on offer have had a profoundly positive impact on the community that CCCG serves. Last year, 74% of adult learners who had completed one of CCCGs free short courses chose to continue in education, with 47% of learners electing to pursue more substantial courses of study.

Finalists for the Beacon Awards will be announced during the AoC National Conference on 14 November.

Congratulations to everyone involved for continuing to provide exceptional opportunities to learners across London!
