A COLLEGE has launched a new service for businesses in Teesside.

Redcar and Cleveland College is offering a wide range of courses, allowing businesses to find many of their training needs locally.

The courses provided, which are specifically tailored for local companies across all sectors, include operational management, personnel and administration.

Alan Old, Principal of Redcar and Cleveland College, said: "Lifelong learning is a very important principle for this college and we have to offer businesses training and development options as the needs and expectations of their industries continue to change.

"We feel the new Business and Management Service and the centre in Middlesbrough offer an extensive range of business and staff development, which are the solution for training needs in the region."
