Free and funded informal training in March 2023
These courses are run by Petroc and funded by the Strategic Development Fund.
The Strategic Development Fund is a government funded project that has enabled a consortium of colleges to link directly into the local skills, education and business priorities. It is giving our collaboration of colleges and training providers the opportunity to focus our curriculum development for the future and ensure that our site, facilities and courses are closely aligned with the most innovative and relevant economic areas. The industries we are focussing on are: Advanced Manufacturing, Green Construction and Electric Vehicles alongside an underpinning theme of Digital development.
