The Co-operative College was established in 1919 by the Co-operative Union with ten overseas students based on the second floor of Holyoake House, Manchester, and in 1943 the College became a charitable trust.
In 1945, Holyoake House was damaged by a blitz, and the Co-operative College was forced to relocate to Stanford Hall, near Loughborough, where it spent almost fifty years. Along the years that the College spent in Stanford, it ran residential courses in social/economic subjects for adult learners and a wide range of retail and management courses for co-operative employees. In 1946, Dr Robert L. Marshall, OBE, MA, became the Principal and Chief Executive Officer.
The College has since returned to its original home at Holyoake House, and Neil Calvert is Principal and Chief Executive.

Schools and young peopleedit
The College, following the steps of Robert Owen, considers education as an underpinning element, and is involved in projects that reach school and young people in different fields.
In partnership with the Co-operative Group, the College is developing a network of schools specialised in Business and Enterprise.
In the U.K., the College is developing new models to run schools as co-operatives; the co-operative trust schools are schools that are set up like co-operatives.
Besides this, the Co-operative College also has its ,[3] which any school can become involved with. This programme encourages pupils to create their own co-operative business.
