As well as enabling the college to a number of additional places for engineering students studying for both vocational and technical qualifications, the facilities will help students develop their engineering and construction skills in support of the Wylfa Newydd development.

Announcing the £6.75m funding today, 06 October, Education Secretary Kirsty Williams said: "This project will not only benefit students wishing to strengthen their engineering skills but also the local economy, allowing highly skilled engineers to live and work in an area which will see major investment with the Wylfa Newydd development.

"The centre will also enable older students and other learners to enhance their skills, improving wider employment prospects."
