科勒格·盖德学院开设新材料中心
学院正式成立了丹尼森先进材料中心(DAMC)，这是威尔士个这样的中心。经济部长肯·斯凯茨(KenSkates)与英国航空公司(BritishAirways)、GKN航空航天公司和生肖航空公司等公司正式在我们的Blaenau Ggo学习区开设了新的中心。
该中心由威尔士政府资助，是以2015年不幸去世的乔恩·丹尼森(JonDennison)的名字命名的。乔恩，GKN航空航天公司前政府联络主任，是复合材料领域的先驱，并设想在南威尔士建立一个“复合材料走廊”。他的主要目标是培训南威尔士地区的年轻人，使其具备部门专门知识，重点关注来自弱势背景的年轻人，以发挥他们的潜力。
学院将在威尔士开设个高级复合材料学徒课程，学生可从2019年1月起在新中心学习，该中心由四间教室组成。
威尔士的复合材料行业为23亿英镑，但到2030年有可能增长到120亿英镑。
威尔士学生已经有使用复合材料的经验，因为他们帮助建造了大学赛车，作为课程的一部分；他们还将学习在赛道上和课堂上维护和维修这辆汽车。
校园主任约翰·塞克斯顿(John Sexton)说：“我们很高兴能成为威尔士的所大学和英国的第四所大学，为学生开设”复合材料入门“课程。
“我们一直就课程内容和所需设备与综合中心(NationalCompositeCentre)密切合作，以便学生们能够自信地相信，他们正在学习先进的技术。”
在今年1月开始向学生推出这门课程之前，总部位于Cwmbran的黄道十二星航空公司(Zodiac Aerosspace)已经招收了一些员工来进行该课程的试点，以提高他们的工程师和车间工人的技能。
“我们要感谢十二生肖航空航天有限公司，他们提供了我们的批学生，我们将继续与他们密切合作。约翰接着说：“我们将在不久的将来向其他公司推广这一课程，关注这一领域。”

The College has officially launched the Dennison Advanced Materials Centre (DAMC), the first of its kind in Wales. Economy Secretary, Ken Skates, officially opened the new centre at our Blaenau Gwent Learning Zone with companies such as British Airways, GKN Aerospace and Zodiac Aerospace and more.
Coleg Gwent College opens its new materials centre
The centre, that was part funded by the Welsh Government, is named after Jon Dennison, who sadly died in 2015. Jon, the former Government Liaison Director at GKN Aerospace, was a pioneer in the field of composite materials and had a vision of creating a ‘Composites Corridor’ in South Wales. His main aim was to train those based in South Wales with the sector expertise, focusing on young adults from disadvantaged backgrounds to realise their potential.
The College will introduce the first Advanced Composites Apprenticeship course in Wales which students can study from January 2019 in the new centre, which consists of four classrooms.
The composites sector in Wales stands at ?2.3 billion but has the potential to grow to ?12 billion by 2030.
Wales students already have experience with composite materials as they helped build the College racing car as part of their course; they will also learn to maintain and service the car on the track and in the classroom.
John Sexton, Campus Director Blaenau Gwent Learning Zone, said: “We’re thrilled to be the first college in Wales, and fourth college in the UK, to offer the ‘Introduction to Composites’ course for students.
“We’ve been working closely with the National Composite Centre on the course content and required equipment so students can be confident that they’re learning the most up-to-date techniques.”
Before the course is rolled out to students from January, Cwmbran based company Zodiac Aerospace has enrolled some of their staff to pilot the course, in order to upskill their engineers and shop floor workers.
“We’d like to thank Zodiac Aerospace Ltd who have provided our first cohort of students and with whom we will continue to work very closely indeed. We’ll be looking to roll out the course to other companies in the near future, watch this space”, continued John.
