AOC awards organisations which go above and beyond in providing high-quality technical and professional education; and which offer something exceptional to their students and the wider community.

Calderdale College works with 250 further education colleges, private training providers and voluntary sector organisations. Their sustained focus on working with employers had helped to attract £100 million investment from local trade and funding bodies, such as the Skills Service City Region.
