BOLTON College will receive a share of a £ 50 million handout to provide the latest teaching facilities to its new T-Level students.
T-level qualifications were introduced at the beginning of the academic year to bridge the gap between academia and industry.
The degrees correspond to 3 A-Levels.
The two-year courses were developed in cooperation with employers and companies in such a way that the content meets the needs of the industry and prepares students for work, further education or study.
The money goes towards improving and expanding the teaching facilities, especially for these students.
Areas of Bolton College that will be modernized include Technology and Manufacturing, Digital, Education and Childcare, and Health and Science.
Government money is to ensure that students study in modern, functional buildings and have access to industry-standard equipment to prepare them for skilled employment.
The money will be invested in Bolton College, as well as other colleges, schools, and high schools that will provide the new qualifications.
The funds will be used to refurbish buildings and facilities, including modernizing classrooms and creating specialized spaces such as teaching stations, and building or upgrading laboratories for health and science students.
Education and Skills Minister Gillian Keegan said, “The T-Levels are a turning point for young people and provide a high quality technical equivalent to A-Levels, developed hand in hand with leading employers to keep students and businesses safe that they can get the skills they need to be successful in a high tech economy.
“This multi-million pound investment means even more students will benefit from world-class facilities and access to brilliant new buildings that will help them prepare for the world of work.”
