Introducing the Cheshire and Warrington Institute of Technology
The Cheshire and Warrington Institute of Technology (IoT) is an exciting collaboration between local further and higher education providers and employers. Working together, we provide technical training that is shaping future careers by filling the employment skills gap.
What we specialise in
At Cheshire College – South & West we train students to be the workforce of the future with our courses in computing, engineering, construction and healthcare science. Our continued investment in facilities and equipment means that our students learn in cutting-edge environments that prepare them to start their careers in their chosen industry.
IoT’s are designed to:
Significantly increase the number of students with higher technical qualifications
Provide the skills that employers need, both now and in the future, which are crucial to local, regional and national productivity growth
Attract a diverse range of students to address the lack of diversity in some parts of the technical workforce, to maximise their social as well as economic impact
Support adults, whether in employment or not, who want flexible access to higher-level education
How is Cheshire College involved?
