Hands-on, students and tutors at South Staffordshire, Brickwork Diploma course.
South Staffordshire College, Rodbaston Campus in Penridge was delighted to receive a generous, free of charge, donation of bricks for the construction learners of Rodbaston Foster Centre. The Land and Construction courses, students and tutors were extremely grateful to MBH PLC for the help and support to resource their practical educational sessions.
The college received 8400 facing bricks with a mixed variety of colours and blends, plus over 1500 pavers. Each student enrolled on an industry construction course requires a large quantity of materials during their diploma or apprenticeship; therefore it is essential that educational facilities receive donations from local business to continue offering leading construction curriculums.
Rodbaston Campus is set in 160 hectares of Staffordshire, in rural surroundings but conveniently close to the M54 and M6 motorways and readily accessible from any part of the country. The Campus specialises in providing further and higher education courses for construction-related industries and land-based activities such as fisheries and aquaculture, animal care and equestrian pursuits. It also offers a range of training services that support land-based businesses.
Extensive investment in recent years has enabled the development of a wide range of state-of-the-art learning centre facilities, equipment and buildings at South Staffordshire College. Behind the current modern appearance, there is more than 80 years experience in providing high quality education and training. The result is a learning environment that combines traditional ideals of top quality teaching with tried and tested modern practices.
Over ten thousand units left Blockleys factory for the practical classes and brickwork apprentices at South Staffordshire College.
