Dunstable College gives Students Access 2 Recruitment

Experienced recruitment agency Access 2 has moved into Dunstable College in a partnership helping students into work and serving local employers with qualified staff

The recruitment agency Access 2 has now set up its local base at Dunstable College’s Main Site in Kingsway, Dunstable. The venture will provide further employer engagement for the College and form stronger links within the community by helping local businesses source well qualified trained and motivated employees.

The agency plans to meet with local businesses and assess their needs to gain a better picture of the type of staff they require. By gaining this knowledge they can in turn help students to find work and help the College to guide them in the right direction as well as offering employers the correct candidates with long term success rates.

Students will be able to complete a qualification with Dunstable College and go on to find work specific to that qualification through the agency. Being based within the College also means that Access 2 will be able to assist the general public in finding jobs, identifying any training needs and pointing them in the right direction within the College to gain the required qualifications. As well as this, the agency can provide employers with an ongoing training facility should companies require it.

Access 2 deals with technical, industrial, driving and commercial staff plus a search and selection executive division including interim management. They also hold a gangmaster licence which enables them to provide staff to food and agricultural industries. The Partnership between the college and the agency also meets the current agenda for the Chamber, to teach English to foreign personnel which in turn will enable all foreign workers to pass the correct health & safety requirements. Dunstable College will be teaching English language to foreign workers on its Skills for Life program enabling Access 2 to find them work.
