Opportunities Centre in Nuneaton
The first Opportunities Centre, at Camp Hill Nuneaton continues to go from strength to strength. Lovell's builders, the developer on the adjacent Camp Hill estate, were so pleased with the project they created a special trainee award and donated a brand new toolkit to help the winner. The community based centre was formed by a partnership between Warwickshire County Council, North Warwickshire and Hinckley College and the Camp Hill Enterprise Resource Centre (CHEERS) with help and support from Employment Training Warwickshire.
The Centre also offers a Moped training scheme for youngsters giving them expert advice on how to ride safely and within the law.
