The Government and the Learning and Skills Council (LSC) have announced that between now and 2010/11, they are fully committed to transforming the Further Education estate nationally. This has created a once-in-a-generation opportunity for City College to apply for funding to build a College that will transform Further Education in the city. We are submitting a bid to the Learning and Skills Council for capital funding to support our vision to transform the college estate so that all learning takes place in 21st century buildings. Our goal is to make high quality further education accessible to all by putting inspirational, energy efficient and innovative facilities right on people’s doorsteps, in the North, South, East and West of the city.
We are very proud of our Capital Development plans and invite you to visit our vision for the future.
