Over 100 16 To 19-year-olds Have Already Signed Up To The All-New, Vocational Gosport College

Gosport College is a new facility designed to

prepare school-leavers for the world of work.  It's a partnership between

Fareham College, Fareport Training, Hampshire County Council, Connexions and

Gosport secondary schools.  It will

provide fulltime, vocational training for those young people classed as not in

education or employment.

Unlike the colleges we’re used to locally it won’t have one central

building.  Courses will be held in

various locations throughout Gosport and Fareham, including the college’s own

hair and beauty salon in Gosport High Street – now open to the public.

Gosport College will be offering, among others, courses in

hair and beauty, health and social care, construction, radio production and

music technology. 

The official opening ceremony is on Wednesday the 22nd

of September 2010 and will be opened by Conservative MP for the Gosport area Caroline

Dinenage.

As the college’s website states, “Staff at Gosport

College want every student to succeed. We work hard to ensure that every

student continues to progress when they leave the College. We have

developed progression links with a number of employers. The College offers

its students employment preparation workshops and liaison events in relevant employment industries.”
