OLDHAM College has submitted plans to deliver a new £9m Construction Centre where students can learn the building and trade skills of the future.

OLDHAM COLLEGE is the first FE college in the UK to be awarded a Dyslexia Smart Award by the British Dyslexia Association (BDA). Helen Boden, Chief Executive Officer of the BDA, presented the prestigious accolade today – the final day of Dyslexia Awareness Week 2019 – on a visit to our facilities where she learned more about our support for dyslexic employees and learners. The BDA Smart Award recognises and promotes good practice for supporting the needs of dyslexic and neuro-diverse individuals. Oldham College sought the accreditation as part of its drive to become the best place to work and learn – one that values the difference and diversity of individuals as an asset to the organisation.

IT’S BEEN yet another successful year for students undertaking Supported Internships at Oldham College – with every one of them going on to secure paid employment or voluntary work.
