It was opened during the College’s open day.

Councillor Pomfret, Mayor of Preston, said: “Elements has been developed in conjunction with local employers who have helped to set the standards that learners will be expected to work to.

“This type of partnership is to be applauded as it will make our young people more work-ready and employable when they leave College to enter the increasingly competitive and demanding world of work.”
