PROJECT FUNDING Preston College has been successful in its bid to secure project funding, as part of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) and the levelling up agenda, to enable Preston City Council residents to gain access to funded training opportunities and qualifications that will enhance skills development and career progression. Designed to positively support individuals to succeed in education and work, support small businesses and to meet the skills needs of Preston’s evolving economy, this funding has been made available from Preston City Council, and will be delivered across the following projects:
GREEN SKILLS The Green Skills project specialises in the delivery of green skills courses to those living in Preston City and employed within the construction sector, to support the transition
towards a net zero economy. Training will be centred around design & surveying retrofit, air source heat pump installation, hybrid vehicles, photovoltaic panel installation and managing net zero & sustainability.
