The funding, which forms the latest round of the College Capital Investment Fund (CCIF), comprises £113.8m of government grants matched by £80.5m of local investment.

“As part of the government’s long term economic plan we must ensure that further education and vocational training is of the highest possible quality and this vital investment will help make that a reality.”
Projects from the latest round include a £2m grant matched with a further £4m of funding for York College to build a new Construction Centre. The new facilities will enhance teaching and learning in Construction Skills helping to support local economic growth.
