Nottingham College has teamed up with DeWalt, a leading UK power tool brand, to provide construction students with valuable industry exposure. The collaboration will support over 100 students across carpentry, joinery, plumbing, and automotive courses, offering hands-on workshops, technical demonstrations, and significant equipment donations.
This partnership aligns with Nottingham College’s commitment to strengthening industry ties. The college’s Basford campus, recently enhanced by the £6 million Construction Skills Centre, is further supported by DeWalt’s contribution, adding to the resources available for students. The college is also investing in its Green Skills Centre to prepare students for careers in renewable technologies.
The partnership aims to bridge the gap between education and the construction sector, which is focused on delivering the UK government’s ambitious housing targets. This initiative will equip students with the latest tools and real-world insights to ensure they are ready for the demands of the trade upon graduation.
