Employment opportunities could be made for tradespersons who have taken electrician or plumbing courses after details of the redevelopment of Bournville College, Longbridge, was announced.
Shepherd Construction has been awarded a £66 million contract to construct a new six-storey, school building, which should be completed within 88 weeks in time for September 2011.
Richard Fielding, director of Shepherd's Birmingham-based construction division, said: "We are delighted to have this opportunity to deliver a first class learning facility for Birmingham. Shepherd has a track record for delivering quality colleges and schools on budget and on time – which is crucial for the education sector."
Using tradespeople with approved qualifications may make it easier for the company to work within strict time constraints and supply a high-quality college at the same time.
Shepherd became a private company in 1924 and today turns over £600 million annually.
