West Cheshire College's commitment of circa £65 million to build two new high quality campuses in Ellesmere Port and Chester will improve vocational opportunities for young people, extend the range of opportunities for adults to develop skills and provide employers with an effective workforce to support the local economy.
Ellesmere Port will see a 19,500 sq metre new build and enhance teaching facilities including hairdressing and beauty therapy; hospitality and catering and the visitor economy; art, design and media; health and social care; childcare; sport; public services and performing arts.
Ellesmere Port also includes a new Higher Education Centre where students can follow foundation degrees endorsed by the University of Chester.
Chester’s programme includes the creation of a state-of-the-art science and technology facility and the 6,000 sq metre building will include cutting edge facilities for science, engineering, manufacturing, logistics and construction.
