Hopwood Hall College is building a £6.1m extension to its Technology Centre in Rochdale as it prepares to launch a range of T-Level qualifications.
T-Levels are high-quality technical alternatives to A-Levels and Hopwood Hall College is one of the first colleges in Greater Manchester to start offering them.
The extension to the Technology Centre at the Middleton Campus will allow the college to offer more T-Levels and higher technical training especially in advanced manufacturing and advanced construction.

Good Covid data work in local government could run out of steam, the Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation (CDEI) has cautioned.
The UK government’s advisory body on the responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI) and data technology has published some analysis on the use of data in local government during the crisis. This is based on a local authorities forum that explored changes to data use during the pandemic and discussed barriers to innovation based on data. The forum is one of a series of AI forums conducted by the centre.
