Part of the Etc.
This week saw the launch of the new Teesside University College Partnership (TUCP).
This is an exciting partnership between Teesside University, Stockton Riverside College, Redcar & Cleveland College, Hartlepool College of Further Education and Darlington College.
Building on our already successful and longstanding relationship with the University, the partnership will enable us to further build on those links, providing people across the Tees Valley with even wider access to higher education courses.
Courses will be delivered either at the colleges or at Teesside University with the aim of bringing together teaching excellence to provide stimulating and challenging programmes which meet the needs of the business community and respond to the economic and educational needs of the area.
Stockton Riverside College’s Principal Phil Cook said: “At Stockton Riverside College we prioritise collaboration, building positive and productive relationships with partners, businesses, all of the communities that we serve and, of course, our local university.
“As such, we relish the opportunity to further enhance our longstanding partnership with Teesside University. The partnership provides high quality opportunities that are accessible, demand-led and right on the doorstep of our communities, not only meeting the needs of students but also serving the specific requirements of the area and its businesses.”
Ed Heatley, Redcar & Cleveland College’s Acting Principal, added: “Redcar & Cleveland College has shared a successful partnership with Teesside University for its higher education provision since 1993. This partnership provides great opportunities for communities in and around Redcar and Cleveland to further develop their careers and skills. It also offers a direct progression opportunity for our learners.
“By working closely with local businesses and Teesside University, together we are able to develop courses that service the needs of our area, its businesses and the economic demands of both Redcar and Cleveland and the wider Tees Valley. We are committed to the continued development of this partnership in meeting the needs of our learners, communities and businesses.”
The TUCP was officially launched this week with a celebration event at the University, where Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen offered his backing to the partnership. He said: “By prioritising education and skills now, we can secure jobs and prosperity in the future.”
The partnership has a shared vision to provide a high quality higher education learning environment, offering excellent courses taught by committed and passionate staff, at whichever campus they study.
Professor Paul Croney, Vice Chancellor and Chief Executive of Teesside University said: "We are fully committed to giving students the knowledge, skills and experience they need to succeed and our drive to create an inspirational and stimulating environment with the facilities, technologies and support for effective learning and development is shared by our further education college partners."
