The economy of Preston and the wider North West is dependent on science, technology, engineering and these require highly educated and trained individuals which give our town, region and country a competitive advantage that’s why we’re supporting the iSTEM Centre at Preston’s College.

 

The iSTEM Centre at Preston’s College is ensuring that we retain and maximise the potential of our home grown talent so we don’t have to buy in the skillset required to make our area’s companies can punch above their weight.

 

The key to Preston’s College’s approach is their commitment to working with industry organisations in the region to make sure the students are gaining the kind of skillsets the region requires. At OBAS we directly benefit from this approach as we employ a number of younger people often as apprentices who may benefit from the approach.
