Bay MP Adrian Sanders has welcomed the announcement by the Coalition Government of new measures to boost further education, which will help South Devon College.
Good colleges such as South Devon will be given new freedoms to develop services tailored to local needs and £150million has been moved from unnecessary projects to providing new apprenticeships in communities like Torbay.
Business Secretary Vince Cable will be working with the Skills Funding Agency to ensure that colleges and employers link up better, providing potential employees with the skills they need for the local economy.
Adrian said: “Torbay desperately needs to diversify its economy and South Devon College will play a key role in achieving this. That the College is getting more support is excellent news and is part of this Government’s desire to move funding away from bureaucracy and quangos and into front line roles where it can be put to immediate good use.”
