Co-Operative College

The Co-operative College is a unique educational institution focused on providing world class learning programmes and research to support the development of a successful and diverse co-operative sector. Commitment to education was one of the founding principles of the Rochdale Pioneers and, as an educational charity, the College reflects that in its mission: Putting education at the heart of co-operation and co-operation at the heart of education.
 
Today, the College works with co-operatives throughout the world. It delivers programmes to help individuals and groups achieve the skills and understanding needed to put co-operative values and principles into effective practice and help build successful co-operative businesses. It works with a wide range of universities, government departments and non-governmental organisations, together with a rapidly growing network of co-operative schools
