This October, Richmond upon Thames College is proudly coming together to celebrate Colleges Week 2022 as well as starting the countdown to our very first Open Event of the year, on Saturday 15th October.
The AOC launched Colleges Week in 2018 as part of the Love Our Colleges campaign and the week is a chance to celebrate the brilliant things colleges do, day in and day out to support people to upskill and retrain, to support employers across innovation and skills and recognise their role as anchor institutions in their communities.
This year's Colleges Week theme is 'Staff - Students - Skills' which will showcase all the great things staff do in colleges to provide students and employers with the skills they need to succeed.
Richmond upon Thames College is an essential part of the employment and learning infrastructure and culture in the London Borough of Richmond and the wider London community.
All the college's students, staff and stakeholders are looking forward to celebrating Colleges Week with a range of fun activities and competitions, along with hosting two Open Events during the week on Saturday 15 October and Wednesday 19 October. These Open Events are a chance for potential students and parents or guardians, to visit our state-of-the-art new building, meet RuT's highly qualified and experienced staff and get a real feel for the close college community.
RuTC alongside all other further education colleges, is an essential community anchor, playing a central role the local community, labour market as well as providing opportunities to empower people and enhance life chances for millions of people.
