Ford has announced that it is creating a new, state-of-the-art training facility on its existing site in Daventry, Northamptonshire. The move is part of a multi-million pound UK Training investment and is scheduled to open in 2015.

The new facility will merge two existing training centres, the Technical Training Centre in Daventry and the Henry Ford College in Loughborough. The building will include classrooms, a 200-seat auditorium and a vehicle showroom area in the latest Ford design style. The facility will be used to deliver courses up to Diploma and Masters Degree level, as well as programmes for students taking the Ford Masters Apprenticeship programmes.

This announcement coincides with the launch of a series of engineering and business apprenticeship programmes.
