Franklin Professionals' Programmes

Franklin Professionals’ Programmes 

Designed to raise individual aspirations and link students to the world of work.

Franklin works closely with local employers, universities and the Greater Lincolnshire LEP to ensure that we meet the area's skills needs and local priorities to support their future pipeline.

Please download our Franklin Professionals' Brochure here to find out all about our impressive programmes. 

We have a comprehensive range of fantastic Professionals’ Programmes as part of our Centre for Professional Development.  

Students are introduced to the CfPD at the start of their Franklin journey. The CfPD forms a key element of our students’ Study Programme, combining employability support and experiences with courses and their Aspire Programme. All these elements are key to our students’ future planning. 

The range of programmes on offer is extensive, enabling us to support different interests; providing information and fantastic opportunities to support our students to make the best possible informed choices for their chosen futures.  

Our strategic partnerships with local and regional employers allow us to plan and deliver programme based on the skills and education needed for our students’ journeys to fantastic futures after their time at Franklin.
