Construction Technical Excellence College

New City College has been named as a Construction Technical Excellence College (CTEC) and will receive part of a £100 million government investment to train thousands of construction workers by 2029 - the only college in London to receive this recognition (Gov.uk, 2025). NCC welcomes this initiative which will support job creation, strengthen the construction sector and help deliver the government’s commitments through its Plan for Change.
