South and City College Birmingham launch emerging technology courses in a first for the West Midlands
In a first for the West Midlands, South and City College Birmingham (SCCB) has launched an innovative array of new technology courses, having rebranded its Digbeth campus as a centre for emerging technologies.
The courses are designed to help businesses meet their growing digital skills needs, as the UK faces a growing digital skills shortage.
SCCB is one of only a few colleges nationwide offering such forward-thinking courses, the courses include:
-
Cyber Security and Digital Forensics (Introduction course and Level 2)
-
Graphics, Photography and Drone Technology (Level 2 and 3)
-
eSports Business, Industry and Tourism (Level 3)
-
Forensic Accounting (Level 3)
-
Fashion Design and Garment Technology (Level 3)
-
Cisco Essentials (Level 3)
Kaussar Bashir, Deputy Head of Faculty of South and City College Birmingham said,
“With the UK economy set to forfeit as much as £145 billion in the next 10 years because of digital skills shortages*, businesses are desperate for digitally savvy graduates.
“Being such an important growth area, we’re thrilled to be able to offer such a compelling range of courses that not only piques student interests, but that also sets them up for future employment.”
South and City College Birmingham encourages prospective students to join the digital revolution by starting one of their new emerging technology courses this September.
