important for Ashford not just economically for providing high skilled workers but also visually
00:05
that this is a very important part of the town and of the town's general image for people getting
00:11
out of the station maybe here for the first time. It used to be a pretty desolate piece of land with
00:21
mobiles on it and it's been utterly transformed. I think the college building is very very good,
00:26
this extension fits in very well and somebody was commenting today that it looks as though
00:32
it's always been in place in the best possible way, it looks completely natural
00:36
but it's a good attractive building so that enhances the image of the town.
00:42
10 million pounds worth of new build will house an additional 400 students studying plumbing,
00:49
electrical, engineering, business studies and will provide industry standard, kind of world-leading
00:58
facilities for technical training for the young people and adults across the Ashford borough and
01:04
wider East Kent. The facilities we have here are, you know, they rival any industry body, they rival
01:11
you know other education institutions, you know, Ashford deserves to have this world-leading kit
01:18
and the students have responded fantastically to it. They're thrilled to be able to study in
01:23
not only a building that looks stunning but also having the kit and also really importantly the
01:28
teachers who are able to inspire them into their next careers. Ashford College joined the East Kent
01:34
Colleges group in the pandemic. My first job actually was to close the doors and say I'm
01:40
afraid to say everyone's got to go home. To see here now today the number of students studying
01:45
now at Ashford College has doubled in a three-year period. We now have a staff workforce that are
01:52
highly motivated and wanting to take this to the next level. My job now is to say well what next?
