Works are progressing on site for a new technical training facility for NETA Training in Thornaby, Stockton on Tees.

The £14m project, made possible with Government Town Deal Funding, will see the new NETA facility built next to Stockton Riverside College enabling NETA to continue to deliver training to young people and adults, and meet the skills needs of local industries.

We are working closely with Etc., NETA and other stakeholders to develop the 5,000m² facility by remodelling an existing building and linking this to a new bespoke industry standard workshop and training building, creating a cohesive learning workplace that reflects NETA’s strong identity and brand. The NETA building will have its own distinct arrival location from Princeton Drive, with specific consideration to the learner journey and the showcasing of NETA activities.

The design seeks to rejuvenate and enhance the campus, maximising opportunities for landscaped social space and improved parking, providing a welcoming and inclusive place that drives aspiration and attracts learners from all walks of life, including government funded students age 16+, commercial learners working in industry, and adults looking to move back into the workplace.
