WHAT IS claimed to be one of the largest green training centres in the country has opened its doors in Liverpool.
The centre – which features a full-size indoor house – has been opened by Liverpool Community College as part of its drive to invest in the sustainable sector.
The £250,000 facility at the college’s construction and engineering faculty on Vauxhall Road is seen as vital to ensure that Liverpool and the wider North West economy can benefit from the high growth levels in that sector.
Elaine Bowker, principal at Liverpool Community College, said: “The growth in the sustainable sector is a huge opportunity for this region.
“With the launch of this training centre, one of the largest in the UK, we will be able to equip workers and businesses with the skills they need to ensure our region will be the leader in the field of green technology.”
The centre includes a 3,000 sqft workshop, with different practical rooms and facilities.
