We're excited to announce that Tech Support Squad has officially joined the Colllege as a Cornerstone Employer for our Digital Support & Security T Level programme. This new partnership is a big step forward for our digital learners, who will benefit from real-world experience, industry insights and hands-on opportunities with a leading IT services provider. Tech Support Squad will be offering industry placements and working closely with our staff and students to help shape the next generation of digital proffesionals.
James Scudder, Founder of Tech Support Squad, said:
“Breaking into the IT industry at a young age was a challenge for me until someone named Russ gave me a chance when others said I was too young. That experience shaped the values of Tech Support Squad from day one. When we launched the company, we made a firm commitment never to judge potential based on age. One of our first initiatives was partnering with Buckinghamshire College Group through their T-Level programme. That collaboration led to us being honoured with the ‘Business Impact 2024’ award after a highly successful second year of student placements. When we learned about the Cornerstone Employer programme, we saw it as a fantastic opportunity to deepen our relationship with the College and support their ambition to become the leading digital training provider in the region. We’re excited about the future and look forward to continuing this impactful partnership.”
Ian Harper, Executive Director for Business Development at Buckinghamshire College Group added:
"We're delighted to be working closely with employers from the digital and broader business sectors to ensure the College is well positioned to support organisations with their recruitment and workforce development needs, while also making a positive economic contribution to those businesses and the wider region."
As a Cornerstone Employer, Tech Support Squad will help ensure our curriculum stays relevant to industry needs and that students graduate with the skills and confidence to thrive in the world of work. This partnership is part of our ongoing commitment to working closely with empoloyers across the region to give students the best possible start to their careers - and to support the growth of key industries across Buckinghamshire.
