West Herts College is a Further Education College located in Hertfordshire.  It serves a diverse student body across campuses in Watford and Hemel Hempstead, offering a wide range of courses from vocational training to professional qualifications.  Known for its commitment to skills development, the college provides state-of-the-art facilities and a supportive learning environment.  With a strong focus on employability and practical skills, West Herts College collaborates closely with local businesses to ensure that its curriculum is aligned with industry needs, preparing students for successful careers.

The East of England presents significant opportunities with its strategic location and connectivity to London, but lacks national recognition as a region.  By joining the Eastern Powerhouse, West Herts College aims to contribute to regional development by fostering innovation and economic growth, bringing our expertise in education strategy and skills development.  We anticipate that this collaboration will enable the college to influence policy recommendations by working with other key stakeholders to ensure Further Education is considered in plans to address the region’s challenges and leverage its opportunities, ensuring that students and the local community benefit from a more prosperous and connected region.
