Stockton Riverside College and NETA Training Trust are delighted to announce their merger.

This is an exciting opportunity to combine our strengths and enhance our service offerings for the benefit of all our customers. Students, businesses and partners will continue to enjoy the same responsive and high quality service they have come to expect from both NETA and Stockton Riverside College. Added to this they will now benefit from a wider range of provision and business focus and we’re confident they will notice even more benefits going forward.

Stockton Riverside College has a growing reputation for transformational partnerships. Working with NETA Training Trust will enable both organisations to align their values of keeping business and learners at its heart – this will enable the organisations to achieve their growth plans in the coming months and years. As Stockton Riverside College is a secure and ambitious organisation with plans for future growth by responsively meeting business needs, we’re in a strong position to take NETA forward.

The move will enable us to continue improving our service (with an added emphasis in the areas of Engineering and Construction) create efficiencies and diversify our offer in order to face the current and forthcoming challenges in the sector.

Existing partners and learners should be assured that there will be no interruption to their service, and will continue to be supported in the best way possible by your NETA/Stockton Riverside College contacts. The delivery of NETA courses and provision will continue to be delivered by NETA.

NETA will remain as an individual entity but with the benefit of accessing additional training provision from Stockton Riverside College, such as Business Administration, Accountancy, Leadership and Management, English and maths, IT, Sales/Customer Service, Construction Trades and much more. Additional services NETA have access to include: Marketing, HR, Finance, Infrastructure (IT & Estates) and Student Services etc.

Importantly we believe that this is the right thing for our communities, stakeholders and in particular our businesses; locally, regionally and beyond. We are confident that together we will be stronger, sustainable and have the opportunity to further develop and grow high quality skills training into the future.

Should you have any queries about this, please do not hesitate to speak to your NETA or Stockton Riverside College adviser/contact who will be happy to help.

Yours sincerely
