This is about putting education absolutely in the centre of enterprise and then using the traditions
of Birmingham to inspire and grow. If you have knowledge and business linked together you will grow
well, you go further down the innovative path and actually you create more and more jobs. Those jobs
will only be available for people with skills but they will be real sustainable employments. That is how
important innovation is.
lord Digby Jones, former Director general, cbi
This project is so important because it’s going to create an environment to inspire people.
The RIBA believes that here in the UK we can design buildings and places that bring out the very
best in people and motivate them. There is a real desire to see this project happen.
ruth reed, president, royal institute of british architects
The construction of a new college at the Longbridge site is really important to boosting skills
in the area and providing real opportunities for young - and not so young - people in the years
to come.
richard burden, mp for northfield
the new campus project was finally approved this year and the work is now on schedule for completion in July 2011. budgeted at £66 million and prominently located on the former site of mg rover, the new build will occupy 4.2 acres and bring together bournville’s current three campuses. it will have capacity for 15,000 students and offer state-of-the-art learning and leisure facilities, including a learning resource centre, business school, construction and motor vehicle workshops, fitness centre and hair and beauty salons.

bournville college has been at the forefront of helping people affected by the recent economic downturn. During 2008/09 the college led on a range of projects and initiatives to assist in up-skilling and helping newly made redundant people return to work.

DavidRigby,atraineefromNorthfieldwhocompletedapre-employmentprogrammeforCadburysaid:
I worked for over 20 years for MG Rover in Longbridge until its collapse in 2005. Since then, I struggled to find permanent employment and job
hunting got even worse with the arrival of the recession. When I was given an opportunity to apply for Cadbury pre-employment training the cloud has lifted. Bournville College has been very supportive and tutors were excellent; everybody enjoyed working with them. I’m pleased to be
employed again.
