Our College is proudly part of a collaboration of educators and employers in the region who secured more than £12million from the government to establish a South Yorkshire IoT. Our purpose-built Barnsley College University Centre on Church Street, which is set to be refurbished and reconfigured, will house our IoT. The Centre will offer higher level technical education to help close skills gaps in Construction, Engineering and Digital areas. Vitally providing pathways from Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) based T Levels to Higher Technical Qualifications (HTQs), Higher Apprenticeships and degrees, the IoT will also offer flexible courses for adults looking to retrain or upskill. The IoT is part of the government’s plan to reform technical training to help employers source skilled employees and ensure local people are qualified to secure rewarding jobs.
