Great Green News for Thanet: Thanet College gets £2 million for Green Skills Centre

Thanet College will be opening a new centre for Sustainable Environmental Technologies by 2013.    
 
“I am extremely pleased that the vision to position Thanet and East Kent as a Green Centre for Jobs and Skills has been given another boost by Government.  They will be funding a state of the art green technology centre that will build stronger skills for the range of different jobs and opportunities offered through green growth,” said Laura.  “From construction through to renewable energy and all the work that needs to be undertaken with regard to the Green Deal, we will be one of the key skills centres in the country.”
 
“This follows a lot of work by the College not least when we hosted John Hayes, Minister of State for Skills, at the College this year.  He was impressed by the approach and professionalism of the College and was enthused by the strength of the vision.”
 
“Each development that is being put in place is strengthening Thanet’s reputation as a leading centre for green industries and I believe that this is yet another step towards my vision of a Green Grand Isle.”

  1. Just like to point out that it should actually read...

    "They will be PART funding a state of the art green technology..."

    Seeing as the Government contribution is less than a third of the overall cost of the project.
