The Quad, taking shape.

The Quad, which opens in September at Telford’s new Station Quarter, will be home to a partnership of learning providers delivering a technology-led curriculum to bridge the gap between education and employment.

Telford College and Harper Adams University are the two education partners involved in the project, and they held a joint information event at Meeting Point House in Southwater to explain more about the plans.

The college will be offering a range of digital skills programmes from entry to degree level at Station Quarter, including apprenticeships and T-Levels.

It has also collaborated with local IT giant Capgemini to create a six-week ‘Step Into IT’ programme, including a week of work placement, for people looking to take their first steps into a technology career.

Harper Adams will be providing future-thinking and industry-aligned degree programmes from applied data science to digital manufacturing, robotics, and business management.
