Dear Candidate
Swansea College and Gorseinon College are merging in August 2010 to create Gower College Swansea. Our vision of a merged College is that it will bring together two complementary, successful organisations to create an institution that will provide outstanding learning opportunities and experiences for young people, adults and employers in Swansea.
We will retain the current Colleges' unique identities. The new merged College will offer "the best of both". It will be on two main sites as well as a number of smaller "satellite" centres. In the short term the main sites will be Belgrave Road in Gorseinon and Tycoch Road in Swansea. In the longer term, it is intended that a new centre will be opened to replace the Tycoch campus and other satellite centres. In this way, areas to the east of the city will be served more adequately than at present.
In addition the merged College will look to build upon existing employers links in order to develop a single point of contact to facilitate productive working relationships and a responsive provision to meet skills needs locally and regionally.
Our aim is that the merged College will be an even stronger organisation than its predecessors while retaining the best features of the individual institutions.
Best regards
Robin Kirby
Chair of Gorseinon College |
