£10m investment pledge from the New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership. The New Anglia LEP has pledged £10m of support to the new Energy Centre in recognition of its key contribution to their regional strategy. Mark Pendlington, Chairman said:“This new Centre of Excellence can be truly transformational for our all-energy coastline, for the young people who will be its future workforce and for our wider economy. It will unlock the potential of a generation, giving them the skills business tells us it needs, as our fast-growing energy sector continues to evolve, compete and win on a global stage.”
Stuart Rimmer, Principal and CEO of East Coast College added: “This is an exciting and long overdue project to support local training for our vital energy sector. With stateof-the-art industry led equipment and a refreshed training offer this regional centre will create future capacity from pre-apprenticeship through to high level management. We can’t wait to get it open for business.”
