Universities
Skills development is a priority for us and we work closely with local businesses on apprenticeships and work-place training. For graduate recruitment, Keele University and Staffordshire University have more than 25,000 students in key subjects like engineering, IT, science, technology and medicine. Additionally, the University of Wolverhampton also hosts a campus in Stafford. Our colleges have seen huge investment and play a major role in providing local companies with the right skills. Another 30 universities are within an hour’s drive including world-class institutions in Manchester, Birmingham, Warwick, Nottingham, Liverpool, Sheffield and Leicester.
