Based at the centre:mk shopping centre, Skillscentre:mk is managed and run by Milton Keynes College. The aim is to provide high-quality training courses to the local community, retailers and other business sectors . At the centre there are dedicated training facilities and a specialised team of trainers with vocational expertise, delivering courses with recognised qualifications with clear progression routes that meet the needs of both employers and individuals. It is also small enough to be able to offer a personal service to individuals, therefore helping to break down previous barriers to learning.
