the smb group
Coalville
The SMB Group is formed of three campuses across Leicestershire - Stephenson,
Melton and Brooksby - providing specialist Further and Higher Education and
Apprenticeship courses. Our purpose is to improve opportunities for our
students, underpinned by a commitment to excellence, innovation and inclusion.
Our aim is to create a first-class College Group, which speaks with one powerful
and strategic voice, retaining deep roots in the local communities it serves.
This combination of local access to skills development within a strategic
regional framework is at the heart of what we do. The positive culture of the
merged colleges builds upon strong and effective collaboration with all key
stakeholders, including local authorities, Local Enterprise Partnerships,
schools, universities, employers and community groups. SMB Group works closely
with industry partners to ensure it provides the skills needed now and for the
future. Our students access high-quality learning and teaching in some excellent
facilities with industry-standard resources and exceptional staff. This supports
each student to achieve their full potential and contribute to sustainable
economic growth and a thriving community. By working together, SMB Group
delivers an accessible and coherent curriculum to support the development of
skills using an efficient and financially sustainable model, demonstrating
positive outcomes for students.
