A college set up to deliver skills for major infrastructure projects is to shut down next month after failing to become viable.

The National College for Advanced Transport and Infrastructure (NCATI) was launched by the government in 2017 as the National College of High Speed Rail, with buildings that could accommodate up to 3,200 students.

The aim of the college was to deliver the skills needed for the construction of HS2▸ (The next High Speed line(s)). But it soon ran into trouble, with a tiny number of students enrolling and a funding shortfall emerging within its first years of operation.

The college has now announced it will close by the end of July, with just 49 students on its books plus  119 affiliated apprentices. Some 81 apprentices and 24 students whose courses continue beyond the end of this academic year will transfer to other providers, it said.
