Redcar and Cleveland College has today opened the doors to a new Clean Energy Education Hub as part of a £6.5m investment in college facilities.
Made possible by the Redcar Town Deal investment plan, the new £3.2m training centre will focus on giving people the skills to meet the demands of Teesside’s growing renewable and low carbon sector.
“We are incredibly proud to deliver this outstanding new facility that responds to the exciting clean energy employment opportunities across the Tees Valley,” said Redcar & Cleveland College principal, Jason Faulkner.
Jacob Young, Conservative MP for Redcar, said: "As a former pupil of Redcar and Cleveland College, I am so proud to support the creation of a Clean Energy Education Hub here.
"Our region has already made significant contributions to the UK's clean energy sector, and this hub will help equip our young people with the skills and knowledge needed to continue to lead the way in this important industry.
"I have long campaigned to put Redcar at the forefront of the UK's clean energy revolution, and this hub is a crucial step towards achieving that goal."
