Yesterday we went along to the opening of Newham College’s newly renovated Stratford Campus 🏗️
The redevelopment has some serious kit - with dedicated spaces for multi-skills training, carpentry, bricklaying and other vocational courses, many set up to mirror conditions on live construction sites. Students get focused, hands-on practice before they ever step onto a real one.
The Green Skills Room stood out most. It’s fitted with solar panels, underfloor heating, air conditioning tech and other low-carbon building systems, so learners can get familiar with the technologies the sector is moving towards.
The faculty also ran through current courses, apprenticeships and short courses for people who want to keep developing after their apprenticeship. For employers, the college’s Employment and Apprenticeships Team handles much of the recruitment and onboarding, which takes a lot of admin off your plate.
A new Plumbing course is launching soon too, in response to local industry demand and needs identified by @NewhamLondon.
Good news for new and existing students. We hope to see some of them on site in future 👷
