A £10m bid has been made to the Department for Education to bring a new University Technical College in the city.
The new University Technical College would give young people aged 14-19 the skills required to meet the needs of modern day employers and will focus on construction, civil engineering, interior design and architectural technology.
“We are looking at 20,000 new jobs, 17,420 new homes and over £1bn added to the local economy so we have to start planning for the future now. The University Technical College led by UCLan is a great place to start.”
