Skills Support for Businesses
North Somerset is strategically located at the gateway to the South West, part of the highly successful West of England Local Enterprise Partnership, and has a strong working relationship with the West of England Combined Authority. The region’s opportunities for business investment and innovation together with natural assets and the culture and heritage scene make it a place where people want to live, work and visit.
The region is home to a top-performing Further Education provider and a growing Higher Education provider in the West of England. In 2017, Weston College and the University Centre Weston (UCW) achieved a Gold award, placing it among the top 20 per cent of university and college higher education providers in the country. North Somerset is well connected with over 10 University Campuses and a handful more Colleges, providing the full range of provision to meet your needs.
