Havant and South Downs College to benefit from £1.3m grant
The money has been earmarked to renovate and upgrade buildings to help the college deliver new T-level qualifications as well as carrying out vital repairs across the college estate.
T-level qualifications have been introduced this year to provide youngsters with a more vocational qualification pathway than traditional A-levels.
