Northamptonshire Chamber of Commerce
In September 2024, Tresham College, part of The Bedford College Group, became a platinum partner of the Northamptonshire Chamber of Commerce.
The Northamptonshire Chamber of Commerce is the largest business support organisation in the county, representing around 1,000 local businesses, offering services such as networking, training, international trade assistance, and advocacy to promote economic growth in the county.
By working in partnership, both the Chamber of Commerce and the College will be able to deliver multiple benefits through working with employers to identify the skills needs for their workforce. Tresham College has over 4,000 students across Northamptonshire, and through this strategic partnership they are able to maximise on the opportunities to showcase their talent and abilities. By working closely with employers across the county, students gain more effective access to employment opportunities and businesses in the region can recruit talent to support their growth and succession planning.
Tresham College endeavours to tailor education and skills training solutions to meet local businesses’ needs and address the skills shortage that is a significant issue for employers in the region and the UK as a whole.
Tresham College hosts multiple events at various venues for the Chamber. At these events, members are able to find out more about the various ways that the college can support local businesses, from tailored CPD to offering venues for hire across its multiple campuses for events and conferences.
As a platinum partner the Northamptonshire Chamber of Commerce offers access to five free ‘Next Generation Chamber’ memberships. Usually a paid membership, this grants HE students at the College, and staff, the opportunity to take part in free networking events, workshops and more to upskill or increase their professional development.
