After working together to deliver high-quality work-based training for over several years, Eastleigh College and premium tea brand Twinings have expanded into apprenticeship training and launched TEA – the Twinings Eastleigh Academy.
The new 'TEA' training academy is designed to produce the next generation of highly skilled team members who will help shape the business's future, and keep Twinings as the number one tea manufacturer in the UK. It also aims to develop current staff into experts within their field.
Learners will be trained at Eastleigh College on a day-release basis, with access to all of our industry-leading facilities. The academy will also develop to encompass work-specific training opportunities for existing staff at Twinings.
The activity falls in line with the Government’s agenda to develop skilled workforces through 3 million new Apprenticeship starts by 2020. As one of the largest providers of work-based training in the UK and with over 50 years’ experience, Eastleigh College is proven to deliver exceptional training for businesses like Twinings, and operates several long-standing partnerships with employers in the region.

The Eastleigh College Board and Senior Management Team have launched an ambitious strategy for the period 2020-24 that sets out the College’s priorities to see more learners, be more successful, more often.
The College has remained open throughout the Covid-19 pandemic for many learners and as from September 2020 all learners (including those planning to attend at College House) have returned to a full high-quality education programme as per government guidelines.
