BUDDING mechanics studying in Evesham are set to benefit from a partnership with a leading car dealership.

WCG, formerly Warwickshire College Group, has linked up with Listers Group to help develop the next generation of vehicle technicians.

The cars supplied by Listers will be equipped with the latest technology and provide students with first-hand experience on a wide range of vehicles.

WCG runs motor vehicle qualifications at three of its colleges, including Evesham, Warwick Trident College and Rugby College.

WCG's Lee Kirk said: “We would like to thank Listers Group for choosing to work with us and providing this vital support for the development of our students.”
