You will also have access to some of the newest and most exciting technologies in the industry - and be given the freedom to experiment to see how these could transform learning and the lives of our learners.


Our Fab Lab movement is growing - and you will work across our four campuses, based in West Bromwich, Kings Norton and Birmingham City Centre.

There will also be numerous opportunities to take part in a number of exciting short-term projects every year.
