Why choose the Collective
The Gateshead Collective is a partnership of leading Work Based Learning providers based in Gateshead. We currently provide services to over 20 schools in the Tyne & Wear area, and we would like to expand this further.

Together the Collective has helped thousands of young people find employment, undertake training and prosper in their chosen career. Many have gone on to become company directors, managers, supervisors and high level technicians.

Three of our partners Access Training, ITEC North East and Gateshead College have been awarded Centre of Vocational Excellence (CoVE) status in Business and Management. Similar to Specialist College status, this award recognises particular expertise in a vocational area. Gateshead College also has CoVE status for Automotive Technology & Logistsics.

NEETA and Rathbone have particular expertise in helping those young people most at risk of dropping out of learning.

TDR Training has been at the forefront of school science and engineering programmes for a number of years.
