Opening new Construction Centre & Institute of Technology Chelmsford College

Chelmsford College Construction

Hugely exciting day in Chelmsford in February 2023 when I opened the new Construction Centre and Institute of Technology at Chelmsford College.

The Construction Centre provides cutting edge resources and equipment to train students and apprentices to become skilled trades people ready for work in the construction centre. It’s been funded by Government via the Local Enterprise Partnership and supported by many local construction companies.

The Institute of Technology brings together local tech businesses, colleges and universities to help deliver skills, training and research projects to support growth in areas like the tech, manufacturing and engineering sectors.

It was a pleasure to meet so many students, apprentices and trainees as well as a huge range of partners from education and business.

Supporting Our Schools

I remained in close contact with all the schools across Chelmsford through covid and am deeply impressed by their resilience, professionalism and commitment during these most difficult of years.

Our schools, colleges and university are exceptional. I fight for fairer funding for all.

A week in the life of Vicky Ford MP

In Westminster this week I have been involved in debates on three different Statutory Instruments.   Acts of Parliament which set out our laws, often delegate to ministers the powers to make decisions on detailed areas of policy via follow up in Statutory Instruments (SIs).
