THE University of York has won a £200,000 contract to train employees in the fast-growing e-science sector.
It will train workers in advanced computer technology in the regional bioscience sector, which employs more than 6,000 people and has been described as crucial to the economy in Yorkshire.
A survey for the Learning and Skills Council (LSC) North Yorkshire, found that almost half of all businesses questioned said they needed training in advanced IT.
Shaun Withers, workforce development advisor for the LSC, said: "This is an exciting project that will address the very specific and complex training needs of some of North Yorkshire's leading-edge companies. These companies are making a crucial contribution to the success of the local economy."
