YORK College played host to a special delegation from China.
As part of the Prosperity Fund, an ongoing international partnership funded by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office and managed by the AoC and British Council, York College hosted a Chinese delegation from Ningbo this month.
The visit provided an insight into the education system, the importance of Further Education and the different kinds of training programmes available to post-16 students in the UK.
With an emphasis on engineering and industry, the delegation visited engineering apprentices at Nestle and Siemens to see how the college works successfully with local employers to meet the training needs of their apprentices. The delegation also visited York Minster. During the two day visit, the delegation became familiar with the college campus and enjoyed meals in the College’s training restaurant.
