What Is Industry360?

Industry360 is part of your full‑time study programme at Derwentside College. It connects what you learn in the classroom with real‑world industries and career pathways, helping you understand how your subject works beyond college. Industry360 gives you insight into different roles, helps you explore your options and makes sure your learning has a clear purpose, not just a qualification at the end.

What You’ll Experience

Through Industry360, you’ll hear directly from people who work in the industry linked to your course, see how skills are used in real workplaces, and develop behaviours that prepare you for life after college. Learning is built around real examples, practical activities and career‑focused experiences, helping you grow in confidence, professionalism and independence as you progress through your study programme.

Employer Involvement

Derwentside College works closely with local and regional employers to make sure learning reflects real expectations and opportunities. Employers help shape what you learn by sharing insight into their industries, setting real‑world challenges and supporting career‑focused learning. This means your course stays up to date, your skills stay relevant, and you gain a clearer understanding of how your learning links to future education or employment.
