Helen praises ‘exciting plans’ in development at North Shropshire College

North Shropshire College has received praise from local MP Helen Morgan after a visit to their Oswestry campus.

The College has two campuses in the area, one at Walford and one on the outskirts of Oswestry. Their main offer is vocational courses, training students in many of the trades for which there is increasingly high demand across the county.

The MP has singled out for their investment in new health and beauty facilities, and forward-looking approach to delivering further education at a time when many Shropshire businesses are short of the trained staff and workforce they need to function.

Helen Morgan, MP for North Shropshire, said, “Vocational education is incredibly important. When I speak to local businesses across all sorts of sectors, a lack of trained staff and available workforce is a common complaint, which makes the work done at North Shropshire College all the more vital for our economy.

“It was great to see the really impressive new facilities for health and beauty, and to hear all about the plans to make NSC an even better place to work and learn. It is clear that there are a lot of exciting plans in the pipeline to further enhance their offer, which is very positive news.”

“Thank you to David, Sharon and Mel for showing me round the campus at Oswestry last week – I really appreciated them and the whole team for taking the time.”
