THE Minister for Further and Higher Education, Margaret Hodge, will open Wiltshire College's new Interactive Media Centre today.

Mrs Hodge will launch the new centre for vocational excellence in digital and broadcast media at Corsham Media Park.

The centre has been funded by the Learning and Skills Council as part of the £500,000 grant awarded to the college.

The new facility will benefit National Diploma and HND students at Wiltshire College, as well as employers who wish to train their staff in areas such as desktop video production, digital character animation and modelling.
