'Green Centre of the Year 2024' LCL Award Success

We are delighted to announce that MidKent College has been awarded 'Green Centre of the Year' at the 2024 LCL Awards.

The first organisation to receive this prestigious award, MidKent College has been recognised for developing a new state-of-the-art Green Centre, which includes an innovative Decarbonisation Hub, Skills Factory and Home Energy centre on its Maidstone campus.

In partnership with MKC Training, MidKent College is offering a comprehensive suite of green construction training courses at these facilities. These courses are designed to equip organisations with the necessary skills to address the green skills gap and thrive in a sustainable future.
