Edinburgh's Telford College has built successful partnerships with the local community over many years. And we’re always looking to
expand and strengthen these links.
Who do we work with?
From local regeneration to ethnic minority support – arts promotion to homeless issues – we work with a huge range of organisations. We also have close ties with community learning and development, schools, youth and carers’ centres close to the college
We even have representation on a number of community committees and boards. These include CORE (Community Organisation for Race Equality), Forth Neighbourhood Partnership and the North Edinburgh News.
And we’re always keen to involve partners in our planning for education, training, guidance and employment opportunities in the local community.
Widening access to education
We aim to meet the needs of specific groups of learners, in partnership with community organisations. For example, our annual evening class programme is hosted by The City of Edinburgh Council Adult Education Team and local schools.
