STEM Demand Drives Expansion of Academic Roles at Coleg Cambria
Growth in STEM subjects and demand nationwide has led to a raft of new roles at a leading college.
Coleg Cambria is advertising a range of Engineering education positions at its Institute of Technology (IoT).
Based in Deeside and Wrexham, there are vacancies for Lecturers in Mechanical Engineering, Electronic and Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, and in Work-based Learning.
Reports point to a UK-wide shortage of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) teachers in secondary and higher education, with a focus on attracting workers from industry to join academia and share their skills and experience with the next generation.
Nick Tyson, Vice Principal for Digital, Engineering and Construction at Coleg Cambria, says these are 'hugely important' career opportunities that will make a difference to thousands of learners, now and in the future.
'In today's rapidly evolving world, the need for skilled, adaptable engineers and industry professionals has never been greater, and who better to shape that future than those who've lived it?' said Nick.
'If you've built your career solving real-world problems, leading innovation, or managing complex systems, consider the exciting opportunity of stepping into further education.
'By sharing your knowledge, you don't just teach — you inspire. You empower the next generation to think critically, innovate boldly, and adapt swiftly in an agile, ever-changing workforce.
'Education is no longer just in the classroom, it's a dynamic, collaborative environment where your expertise can ignite potential, bridge industry and academia, and leave a lasting legacy.
'The impact you've made in industry can multiply when you help others discover their path within it.'
The college will support successful candidates to achieve the necessary teaching qualifications if they do not already have them.

M&S food sales growth collapses after cyber attack
Rapid growth at Marks & Spencer's food business has ground to a halt after the retailer was struck by a devastating cyber attack that left shelves empty. New figures seen by The Telegraph show that spending in M&S's food halls rose by 0.8pc in the four weeks to May 17 compared with a year earlier. The data covered a period when the retailer was in the initial throes of the hack. It marks a major slowdown from the rampant growth experienced by the retailer over the past year. According to the unpublished figures from analysts at NIQ, grocery spending at M&S had been up by 11pc in the 12 months to May 17. It has consistently ranked among the fastest-growing supermarkets in recent months. The NIQ data showed M&S sold fewer items in the four weeks to May 17 compared with the same period last year and its market share slipped to 3.3pc, compared with 3.6pc in the year as a whole. M&S slipped below Waitrose in the ranks of the largest grocers as a result, having overtaken the retailer for the first time in November. Previous figures had suggested M&S had escaped a major hit from the cyber attack. Separate data from Kantar recently suggested that M&S grocery sales rose by 8pc in the four weeks to May 18 and by 12.3pc in the 12 weeks to the same date. Kantar uses a different methodology, which does not include grocery sales from delivery apps such as Deliveroo. The NIQ survey data shed fresh light on the effect of the cyber attack that has crippled M&S. M&S was forced to halt online orders in mid-April after being struck by a cyber incident, which also disrupted food deliveries into stores. It led to gaps on shelves and forced the retailer to pause some offers in some stores. The attack has been blamed on criminal gang Scattered Spider. Stuart Machin, M&S's chief executive, was reportedly directly contacted by the hackers, with an abuse-filled email seen by the BBC allegedly showing hackers gloated about the attack. M&S declined to comment on the report. Seven weeks after the company disclosed the attack, it is still battling to bring its IT systems back online. M&S has not yet brought back online orders, with disruption expected to continue until July. The retailer has already admitted that the attack will knock an estimated £300m off its profits this year, dealing a setback to Mr Machin's efforts to rapidly grow the retailer. Clive Black, an analyst at Shore Capital, said the hit to food sales was to be 'wholly expected post the cyber incident, when considerable disruption to store operations was evident, meaning lots of gaps at time, famine and feast in terms of product coming into stores managed by manual rather than automated processes'. However, he suggested M&S was likely to experience a 'robust bounce back' once the IT issues were resolved. Richard Hyman, a partner at Aria Intelligent Solutions, added: 'If there was ever a good time for this to happen to M&S, it's now when they're in a position of strength. If this had happened several years ago, I think that one would be much more worried about them.' A spokesman for M&S said: 'We have made good progress in growing our food business and gaining market share over the long term. The most recent Kantar report shows market share growth of over 12pc, which is ahead of the market and underlines our resilience. 'Our stores are back to normal for our customers and have been for some time. We are getting on with providing the best quality products and service for our customers. In fact, just this week, we have launched 100 new or upgraded M&S Food products for summer.'

In March 2024, councillors refused planning permission because of concerns about the green Land appealed and said the council had "exaggerated" the harm to the green belt and ignored its economic said there was a "pressing need for the proposed development".Property consultant Montagu Evans added: "This is no ordinary development proposal and nor is it one that meets a generic need that could be met anywhere."But RBWM said Greystoke had overstated the economic case for the studio, and the development of other studios in Berkshire and the south east meant there was less of a case for building another one in appeal was heard by a planning inspector last November, but government housing ministers said they would make the final Pennycook said the government supported "the growth of the creative industries in the UK" but there was "likely to be sufficient capacity within existing studio space" for the industry "for the immediate future".
