Aegis Support Services, a leading provider of security and facilities management solutions across the UK, already plays a key role in maintaining safety at the Bedford and Central Bedfordshire College (CBC) campuses. By formalising their involvement with the Group, Aegis is taking its support for students to the next level.
As part of the partnership, Aegis will actively contribute to student learning and career development by sponsoring awards at the upcoming end-of-year Student Awards, endorsing a course, offering apprenticeships, providing work placements, supporting internships, and facilitating site tours. They will also take part in open evenings, career events, and industry talks to inspire the next generation of professionals.
Aegis has already shown its dedication by sponsoring two Student Awards ceremonies that were held in the Autumn term and welcoming a Level 3 HR apprentice. Their involvement will ensure students gain valuable exposure to real-world industry practices and career pathways.
