New technical head aims for sexual equality
SHEFFIELD’S university technical college could receive up to £10m in funding to help train students in advanced engineering and digital industries.
The plan has been developed by Sheffield College with support from Sheffield Hallam University, the city’s council and chamber of commerce.
Employers who will work with the UTC include the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre with Boeing, Kraft Foods, South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service, Sheffield International Venues, and HSBC.
It will be based in the city centre’s Creative Industries Quarter on Shoreham Street with the council providing the land on a 125-year lease at a peppercorn rent.
