Gower College Swansea is delighted to announce the availability of a brand new User Centred Design apprenticeship pathway. This new route has been designed to meet the needs of employers and skill gaps in the local area, allowing learners to gain nationally recognised qualifications whilst working and learning. 

Students on the Level 3 90 Credit Diploma in IT at Gower College Swansea have presented their latest project at the Big Bang Fair at MOD St Athan.

An IT student from Gower College Swansea has taken second place at the UK Skills Competition in Advanced Web Design which took place recently at Coleg Sir Gar.

Jordan James, who is studying a Level 3 Diploma in Information Technology at the Gorseinon campus, was tasked with producing a website to promote Wales as a tourist destination.  

IT students at Gower College Swansea will soon have an opportunity to combine their academic studies with realistic workplace training, thanks to a new partnership with global employability programme Galaxias Tech.

The Enhanced IT Programme is open to Level 3 ICT students who are not planning on progressing to university and are instead focusing on honing their skills in a practical setting.

The classes will run initially on the College’s Tycoch/Hill House campus before transferring to IndyCube in Wind Street.

Local software entrepreneur - and former Gower College Swansea student - Adam Curtis returned to the Gorseinon campus recently to deliver an inspirational talk to vocational IT students.

Adam is a software developer who created and now manages the Clockwork Bear agency in addition to founding Hoowla, an online conveyancing software for solicitors. He specialises in creating bespoke software for new start-ups and helping companies build systems to manage their business processes and documents online.

IT students from Gower College Swansea's Tycoch campus have been working alongside the Swansea Young Single Homeless Project (SYSHP) to assist them with the development of a dedicated website.

During a recent visit to the organisation, the Level 2 and 3 students were given an opportunity to understand the core values of the project and gained an appreciation of the vital role it plays in the local community.

SYSHP supports young people aged between 16 and 25 who are made homeless.
