College opens gates to knowledge

Lancashire businesses have been given a first glimpse of the North West’s only Microsoft Training Academy.

Jason Turton, head of creative and digital at Preston College said: “We are delighted to be working in partnership with Microsoft and this is the start of a relationship with one of the world’s biggest technology companies and we hope that the partnership can flourish in the years to come.

“As the only training centre of its kind in the region, we’ll be able to provide people with the skills and knowledge to use Microsoft products effectively and thus increase business productivity.” “We see partnerships such as this as an important step in our continued efforts to ensure that we offer value for money to schools and businesses across the region.”
