RNN Group Celebrates 10th Anniversary Year
RNN Group is celebrating its 10th Anniversary this year following the merger of Rotherham College and North Notts College in 2016, followed by Dearne Valley College a year later.
RNN Group (made up of campuses including Rotherham College, North Notts College, Dearne Valley College and University Centre Rotherham (UCR) built in 2018) was part of a shared ambition that colleges in South Yorkshire and North Notts could do more together.
Over the last decade, the RNN Group, leading on innovation and skills in our communities and as an anchor institution, has continued to grow to become one of the region’s major education providers and is a cornerstone of our communities where talent is nurtured, employers are supported and futures are shaped.
We’ve brought together people, campuses, systems and cultures that have strengthened our position as a dynamic and innovative education and skills organisation with a clear purpose: to unlock opportunity, drive economic growth and support social mobility across South Yorkshire and North Notts.
Some of the Group’s greatest achievements include: A successful regional merger, expanding access to higher education to local communities with the University Centre Rotherham and links with The Bridge Skills Hub in Worksop, development of its infrastructure including Construction Centre, T Level and HTQ facilities, collaborating with employers, driving regional skills growth, championing inclusivity and equity, strengthening community engagement and valuing and developing staff.
Most importantly, we are proud to serve the region, our local communities and our learners of all ages who make our job and work so rewarding. It is because of them that we exist.
Jason Austin, CEO & Principal, RNN Group said,
“I am truly proud to lead the RNN Group which has brought together people, campuses, systems and cultures that have strengthened our position as a dynamic and innovative education and skills organisation with a clear purpose: to unlock opportunity, drive economic growth and support social mobility across South Yorkshire and North Notts.
“We will be celebrating our 10th anniversary throughout the year starting with our 10th Anniversary Celebration and Staff Awards Event at the end of this month as our staff are the heart and soul of our organisation and without them, we could not have achieved everything to date.”
