RNN Group

We are an education and training provider, meeting the needs of thousands of employers, adults and school leavers every year and contributing at the heart of our communities.

With an income of over £50m each year, the RNN Group includes three colleges of career-focused further and higher education and five training organisations. We educate school leavers, undergraduates, employees and those re-joining the workforce.

In total, we employ or engage over 1,500 staff to educate and train over 16,000 people each year, including over 4,000 apprentices.

We work at the centre of our local communities, contributing to civic life and economic renewal. Through events, volunteering and charitable efforts, we reach out to individuals and groups.

From our heartlands in the Sheffield City Region and the East Midlands, we help companies succeed and individuals learn their way to career security, fulfilment and happiness.

We are a rapidly growing provider of higher education courses, which includes full degrees, that are offered locally, connected to employers, great value and designed to fit in with our students’ work and family lives.

As part of our dedication to changing the future of Rotherham through Higher Education and skills, in autumn 2018 we will be opening University Centre Rotherham (UCR), which will bring new and exciting opportunities to the people of Rotherham and its surrounding areas.

Situated on Doncaster Gate in the heart of Rotherham, UCR will offer state-of-the-art facilities and a wide variety of degree courses accredited by top universities and awarding bodies, including Sheffield Hallam University and the University of Hull, with plans for over 50 courses to be running at UCR by 2020.

We have been working closely with 200 of the over 1,000 employers we have links with to develop courses that particularly meet a need for the local economy and input into the planning of essential initiatives such as work experience placements and guest lectures.
