Project Summary:
The centre of excellence aims to increase teaching standards and the number of construction students and apprentices.
The project provided extra capacity by fully re-modelling and upgrading accommodation to support up to 280 full-time and part-time construction students and up to 160 construction apprenticeships per year.
The college is now able to meet new apprenticeship standards and increase specialisms not currently delivered to meet the needs of Dorset’s construction industry. These include painting and decorating, plastering, roofing, construction maintenance, plumbing with solar/thermal pathways and an increased emphasis on environmentally sustainable construction.
