Gateshead College has been around since the 1940s and from then to today we’ve been helping people get the skills and qualifications they need to get on in work and life.
It’s a special place to work and learn, we care about each other, are passionate about what we do and are proud of what our students achieve.
Why Gateshead College?
Students
We’re the place to get you job ready. You’ll get everything you need to get you where you want to go. University, first job, next job, promotion – our courses, qualifications, inspiration and support will get you there.
Employers
You’ll get access to the most employable talent around and, if it’s a struggle finding, developing or attracting people with the skills you need, we’ll work with you to find a solution.
Community
We’re a good neighbour, here to work hand in hand with individuals and organisations in our community to make it better for everyone.
Our purpose, values and strategic plan were developed with the people who make up our community – our students, staff and partners.
Each year we come back together through community conversations – events which give us the opportunity to share our progress in achieving what we said we’d do and to make sure we stay focused on the future, prioritising the right things.
Along with our ethos of Education with Employment Edge, they guide how we behave and go about our work day to day
To develop skilled, confident learners who succeed in work and life.
To be at the heart of a thriving community, helping people to achieve their full potential and gain the Employment Edge.

We are kind and considerate to everyone.
We act honestly and do what we say we’ll do.
We give things a go and stand up for what is right.
