Destination Chesterfield

At Chesterfield College, we are proud to recognise our partnership with Destination Chesterfield, working together to shape the future of our town through skills, education, and opportunity.

A Shared Vision for Chesterfield’s Future

As an active member of the Destination Chesterfield Board, the College plays a key role in ensuring that young people and skills development are central to the borough’s placemaking strategy. This partnership supports our shared ambition to create a thriving local economy where businesses can grow and young people can access meaningful careers.

Key Areas of Collaboration

  • Inspiring the Next Generation
    Through initiatives like Made in Chesterfield, My Future, and Apprentice Town, we work together to raise awareness of local career opportunities and inspire young people to pursue pathways in key sectors such as manufacturing, engineering, and digital.
  • Connecting Employers and Education
    We create opportunities for employers to engage directly with students through forums, guest lectures, mock interviews, and real-world projects. This helps shape curriculum, inform skills delivery, and ensure our learners are work-ready.
  • Showcasing Student Talent
    From supporting local events to contributing to branding and promotional campaigns, our students gain valuable experience while showcasing their skills to the wider business community.
  • Collaborative Skills Development
    We work closely with employer groups such as the Manufacturing Forum and Property & Construction Group to align training with industry needs and co-develop new facilities like our upcoming advanced manufacturing centre.

A Partnership with Purpose

This partnership is more than collaboration — it is a commitment to developing talent, supporting local businesses, and building a stronger Chesterfield. Together, we are creating a pipeline of skilled individuals who are ready to contribute to the town’s continued success.
