What support is available to Gower College Swansea students?
As part of the Gower College Swansea Guarantee, Better Jobs, Better Futures provide targeted advice and support on employment and apprenticeship options, as well as access to continuing employability support, to assist learners in progressing towards their chosen career.
“When I was unsure of my next steps, I contacted the Futures team. My coach supported me to explore employment, education and training options. With an apprenticeship being the best route for me, I was supported to apply for a number of roles. Now I have an IT Apprenticeship that perfectly fits my skills, and a plan for my future career.”

“Gower College Swansea offers the Futures programme which is a brilliant resource providing 1-1 support with people who have worked in recruitment to coach you and tailor your applications to an employer. They provided great support and efficient and effective advice throughout the application process.”

“During this hard time, I received lots of support. I was given lots of help with lessons and resources to pass my CSCS card and I am very thankful that Futures helped me find my apprenticeship. The team always kept in contact with me, so I was never worried about my future.”
Alina
“The support has been invaluable, and I wouldn’t have found a job without all of you. I was able to have mock interviews, and when I secured the job I wanted, the team helped me settle into my new role. Thank you for everything you have done, you have ultimately changed my life for the better.”
