Following the success of our involvement with Hopwood Hall College & University Centre through the sponsorship of their award-winning ‘Design Engineer Construct!’ (DEC) learning programme, McBains has embarked on a similar partnership with Mossbourne Sixth Form in Hackney.
McBains will support students participating in the Mossbourne Architecture Programme, through mentoring, work experience opportunities, specialist talks, design reviews and tutorial sessions.
The Mossbourne Architecture Programme is aimed at students interested in pursuing a career in the built environment, such as architecture, engineering, planning or surveying, and runs alongside the student’s chosen A level subjects.
Mark Leeson, Director at McBains, commented: “We’re extremely excited to be sponsoring another DEC programme.
“By supporting the Mossbourne Architecture Programme we hope to inspire a new generation to pursue a career in the built environment.
“We already feel a close affiliation to Mossbourne, having been involved in the development of Mossbourne Victoria Park Academy, one of four schools managed by the Mossbourne Federation alongside Mossbourne Sixth Form”.
