Gazelle Colleges Group

City College Plymouth, through the Principal, Phil Davies, is proud to be a part of the Gazelle Colleges Group.

The Gazelle group, created in 2011 by five college principals, is exclusively focused on building a recognisable cluster of entrepreneurial colleges within the next five years. Gazelle Principals are working together transform their colleges through enterprise and entrepreneurship. Gazelle gives them the opportunity to engage with established entrepreneurs, young entrepreneurs and innovators and to bring that experience into the heart of further education.

Gazelle combines the exceptional experience of entrepreneurs who have succeeded in business with leaders in the further education and wider public sector. They believe that in the current economic global climate it is vital to foster a new generation of social and commercial entrepreneurs; entrepreneurs who can add value to communities, bring innovation to existing businesses and who can create their own employment with confidence and ambition.

FE colleges will play an integral role in achieving this goal, but they must be prepared to make the changes needed to deliver a different outcome for students in the 21st century workplace.

The Gazelle Principals Group is committed to transforming curricula to encourage an entrepreneurial mindset in their students; a mindset that will serve employers well and increase opportunities for all within the next five years.
