Project Status - Completed
- Start Date: March 2020
- End Date: January 2021
- Local Growth Fund allocation: £105,928
- Awarded to: Bournemouth & Poole College
Summary:
This Local Growth Fund project introduced Digital and Enterprise Innovation hubs to Bournemouth and Poole College.
These hubs have provided a central focus at each college site to promote the development of employability and enterprise skills, ensuring students are work-ready and enter industries as skilled employees.
Therefore, Dorset can expect more productive employees from the onset of employment, reducing the training and mentoring time required.
Physical works included the refurbishment of two spaces on two college sites. Relevant IT equipment was purchased for hub use as well as procurement and installation of a 3D printer.
The two new hubs will increase the employability skills for around 4040 students and apprentices per year.
