We are proud to announce that from 30 June 2008 the Collective will have a new home!

With support from the LSC and single programme funding through the Tyne Wear Partnership, the Collective and four of our partner organisations – Access, ITEC North East, Gateshead College WBL Unit and Neeta Ltd, will co-locate to the new Skills Academy on Kingsway, Team Valley Gateshead. The multi million pound site will also house the Gateshead Education Improvement partnership 14-16 Skills and Enterprise Centre.

Our new home includes training and conference facilities, which will enhance our service to learners, employers and partners.

An official launch of the Skills Academy is planned in the autumn.
