I’ve already mentioned the substantial investment in Ravensbourne agreed by Greenwich Council in the last few weeks. One third of which – in the form of a £500K grant – will fund a specialist sector Skills Centre at Ravensbourne. It will be an important new facility, which will offer entrepreneurs, businesses and learners access to specialist digital facilities, expertise, teaching space and courses at Ravensbourne for a ten-year period commencing September 2010.
Through the [working title] Greenwich Digital Skills Centre, Ravensbourne will continue to develop and diversify leading edge business support and non-accredited skills programmes, which will benefit industry, raise educational achievement in schools and improve progression onto accredited courses. Ravensbourne will offer training that innovates to meet the challenge of the constantly evolving media industries in line with the ambitions set out in the Digital Britain report last year.
In HE we are all facing the pressure to diversify our products and delivery models to adapt to fundamental changes in education policy and funding. Let’s hope Ravensbourne is staying one step ahead of the curve.
