Loughborough College has been named as one of the UK's Top 100 Inclusive Employers for 2024 by the National Centre for Diversity.
The top 100 list honours organisations across the UK that excel in embedding Fairness, Respect, Equality, Diversity, Inclusion, and Engagement (FREDIE) principles into their day-to-day operations.
As the only East Midlands based further education (FE) institution to make the list, the college ranks 57th, joining a distinguished list of organisations dedicated to promoting inclusive practices and creating a positive, equitable environment.
Corrie Harris, Principal and CEO of Loughborough College, said: “I am thrilled that Loughborough College has been featured in the top 100 Inclusive Employers Index. This achievement would not have been possible without the unwavering support and dedication of our staff and students, who work hard to make inclusion a priority. I am exceptionally proud of our longstanding commitment to fostering a culture that embeds our FREDIE values.”
This recognition underscores Loughborough College’s continued leadership in championing diversity and inclusion within the education sector. In March, the college retained its silver ‘Investors in Diversity’ accreditation, and in June celebrated its second annual Pride march, welcoming hundreds of staff and students to an event which shone a light on the LGBTAQIA+ community.
