The Co-operative College is UK’s major provider of co-operative education, training and development (it is its vision). Its mission is to provide challenging and diverse opportunities that enable learners and their organizations to put co-operative values and principles into everyday practice.
The Co-operative College was established in 1919 to meet the educational and training needs of the Co-operative movement. First, it was located in East Midlands, Leicestershire near Loughborough at Stanford Hall, now it is in Holyoake House, Hanover Street, Manchester (www.co-op.ac.uk).
The Co-operative College is experienced in delivering regional, local and residential adult and lifelong learning programmes that emphasize co-operative values and principles.
Strategic Objectives of the Co-operative College are:
– to meet the learning needs of diverse co-operative, mutual and social enterprises regionally, nationally and internationally;
– to promote and encourage the understanding of co-operative values and principles and co-operative learning within and beyond the co-operative mutual and social enterprise sector;
– to continuously improve learning and quality standards across the whole of the College curriculum;
– to develop e-learning and information and learning technology (ILT) provision;
– to transform the Rochdale Pioneers Museum and the National Co-operative Archive into accessible lifelong learning resources.
The Co-operative College offers a wide range of workshops and qualifications designed to develop knowledge, understanding and skills to enable directors and members to become more effective in the roles.
The Co-operative College offers nationally recognized qualifications; specialist courses for the funeral service; international programmes; co-operatative business programmes, etc.
The Co-operative College has a portfolio of national and international projects designed to raise awareness of and benefit the co-operative movement, projects that help the co-operative movement become better informed and equipped to meet the business and social challenges of the new millennium.
The Co-operative College is working with schools to develop curriculum resources designed to change the perception of co-operation among students and educationalists alike. The College is involved in new initiatives supporting young people in co-operatives, facilitating young co-operators’ participation in youth seminars arranged by the International Co-operative Alliance. The College is working with partners across the UK on a range of action research projects designed to encourage a wider section of members to get involved in their democratic processes.
The Co-operative Union (the Co-operatives UK) and the Co-operative College provided the opportunity to build up a truly national Archive of the co-operative movement to provide students and scholars with access to a valuable resource in a single center.
The Rochdale Pioneers Museum exists to preserve the original store of the Rochdale Pioneers and to generate an understanding of the ideals and principles of the co-operative movement.
The Co-operative College delivers a range of specialist tailored programmes as well as IT applications including Microsoft Office; the European Computer Driving Licence delivered via the internet.
The field of e-learning is both an innovative and progressive new area of education, and one which the Co-operative college is pioneering. E-learning modules offer a wealth of information on the subject of co-operation.
In terms of distance learning the College is currently developing e-learning CD Rom and paper-based packages for members and directors in the UK and internationally. These allow learners to access parts of the framework for members and director learning from their homes and at a time that is convenient for them.
The Co-operative College provides learning, education, training, consultancy and research for the co-operative, social enterprise and mutual sectors in the UK and internationally.
