- “In July 2025, the college announced a landmark strategic partnership with General Dynamics, a global leader in defence and advanced manufacturing. This collaboration will see the launch of a state-of-the-art Engineering Academy designed to equip learners with real-world employability skills in advanced manufacturing and engineering technologies.”
- “In November 2024, The College Merthyr Tydfil launched a new AMBE Construction Academy, in partnership with Tilbury Douglas. This innovative programme aims to prepare learners for successful careers in the construction industry through hands-on training, industry insight, and professional development opportunities, equipping learners with vital employability skills and real-world construction experience.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
