This project will see the development of a Life Sciences centre/academy, based in the south- west of Birmingham as a feeder to the University of Birmingham and the Institute of Translational Medicine (ITM), and support the University Hospital with its 2,000 life science jobs.

The centre will be targeted at Levels 2 and 3 (technician), particularly apprentices which will contribute towards closing the Level 3 skills gap which constrains regional growth in this sector.

Funding for this project is available in 2015/16 and 2016/17
