"Lotus Cars and East Coast College have developed a fruitful partnership. The college's Welding students were provided with a unique opportunity of a placement at our Lotus Advanced Structures manufacturing site in Norwich. The students were able to put their skills to the test in a live environment, whilst also getting to understand our wider manufacturing systems and processes. The placement students impressed us so much, we then went on to offer them permanent roles at the end of their studies!"
