Employers from across the region can find out about how developments at City of Wolverhampton College will benefit their businesses and employees at a networking event next month.
The college is hosting a business breakfast at its Wellington Road campus, on Tuesday, 6 February, to give employers the opportunity to get an update on its major campus transformation project which will see the opening of a new centre for automotive and engineering training and the construction of a city centre campus.
Attendees will hear about the college’s latest plans from principal Mal Cowgill, as well as from Andy Street, Mayor of the West Midlands and chair of West Midlands Combined Authority, and Councillor Stephen Simkins, leader of City of Wolverhampton Council, about how the new developments will drive up skill levels and increase employment opportunities across the city and wider region.
Visitors can have a hard hat tour of the new Advanced Technology and Automotive Centre – which will provide state-of-the-art industry-standard training facilities for students studying for automotive and engineering qualifications – and find out about sponsorship opportunities for equipment and training areas in the centre.
The free event will also see the launch of a series of sector advisory boards – with employers from different sectors invited to help tutors develop learning programmes to address specific skills gaps and ensure the workforce of the future is equipped with the skills and knowledge their industries require.
The business breakfast will run from 8am to 10.30am and places can be booked here
