First Shoots

On Monday 19th October we held an event to celebrate the progress of the College build so far. We called it 'First Shoots' and it shows how our 'new roots' are growing and developing. We made this video (edited by our Design Unit apprentice Emma Needham), to be played as our guests arrive, to show a few views from around the impressive build.

Equality of Opportunity!

For Barbara Leadbetter (66) and Laura Majko (18), successfully achieving their first qualifications with West Kent College shows how we offer equal opportunities for all. After a successful career in floristry, Barbara joined the Thames Valley School as a Teaching Assistant and has just gained her L2 NVQ in Supporting Teaching and Learning. For Laura, her first job at Little Sunflowers Nursery gave her the opportunity to continue with her education through a L2 apprenticeship programme in Children's Care, Learning & Development. Pictured at their recent Awards Evening hosted by delivery partner SET Training, John Grafik, Business Development Director, says, “Laura and Barbara exemplify the inclusive nature of qualifications that are delivered in the workplace. They are to be congratulated and encouraged to progress to even greater heights.”
