college lAunches experimentAl event spAce At hAmmersmith

The College has opened an experimental event space to encourage creative and active student, college, local community and business-based activities.

Based at the centre of Hammersmith College, ThingLab was launched in December 2014 as a 3D printing drop-in centre to showcase the technology’s potential.

Throughout the launch week, students and staff dropped in for 3D printing advice where they could research and print their own items. A number of design students used their 3D modelling skills to design their own objects.

IT projects technician Darren Smart, who led the creation of the space, said: “It’s great that we now have such a high profile space to showcase the innovation and creativity of students. During its launch, we showcased 3D printing with lots of genuine interest as well as positive feedback from both students and staff — we almost couldn’t meet the demand for printed objects. Hopefully, this will continue with future projects.”

cooking up new courses At southAll

Last November, Southall College saw the launch of three new programmes aimed at young people currently out of employment, education or training.

The ‘Cookery School’, ‘Beauty School’ and ‘Football Education Academy’ provide practical introductions to the different fields, while giving students the chance to gain up to five qualifications.

During full time 20 week courses, provided by specialist youth training provider Let Me Play Education, students work in Southall’s industry standard facilities which include a training kitchen and a fully equipped salon.

Speaking at the launch, Let Me Play Ltd. Director, Matthew Lord, said: “The courses are delivered with regular student incentives and a huge amount of effort goes into making the programmes fun and

engaging. The launch has been a huge success – 50 young people now have a better future. We look forward to developing this partnership with the College.”

Since its launch, ThingLab has already hosted a range of activities including a design software training session led by students with autism, a student programming advice session with industry experts in the Netherlands by video conference and an art exhibition hosted by HND art and design students.

There are plans to use the space for student business projects and to host guest speakers to present talks in the spirit of the popular TED lectures, and activities involving local community groups, partners and businesses.

Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, and Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime, Stephen greenhalgh, visited Ealing College recently where they met students taking part in the Metropolitan Police Service Community Ambassador Programme.

The Mayor and Deputy Mayor talked to the students as they worked on their ‘Big Idea’ project as part of the i-CAN (Community Ambassador Network) programme, in which students were challenged to come up with ways to use their digital, social and media skills to keep themselves, friends and local community safe during the festive period.

The Community Ambassador Programme (CAP) aims to strengthen ties between the police force and the communities they serve. High achieving and ambitious students have been given the opportunity to act as ambassadors for the police service and will receive mentoring

and access to work experience opportunities.

Speaking at the College, Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime, Stephen greenhalgh, said: “It was great to meet these young Ambassadors and hear their ideas for keeping safe in Ealing. Building bridges between the police and local people is vital if we want to boost confidence and create a police force that is respected and loved.”

Sonia Brown MBE, who leads the programme on behalf of the Metropolitan Police Service, added: “This is an exciting initiative designed to work with energetic, savvy students looking to connect and encourage female and diverse individuals to pursue

a career in the Metropolitan Police Service. We will be looking for Community Ambassadors to unleash their creativity to better engage, collaborate and advocate around recruitment issues and by using their local knowledge, skills, networks and

contacts they will raise awareness, encourage action and increase applications to the Metropolitan Police Service from the wider community.”

The College’s Principal and

Chief Executive, garry Phillips said: “It was great to welcome the Mayor of London and Deputy Mayor to Ealing to showcase the work we’re doing with our community partners such as the Met Police. The Community Ambassador Programme is one of

many of our community enterprise initiatives that takes learning out of the classroom and into the wider world, preparing students for the world of work. The College is a really good example of a social enterprise in action.”

The Mayor and Deputy Mayor concluded their visit by joining in with a game of netball taking place between a team representing the College and a team from the Metropolitan Police.

The College has announced it will be holding its second annual Apprenticeship Fair backed by Ealing Central and Acton MP Angie Bray. This year’s fair will take place on Friday 20th March at Ealing College.

Last year’s fair, which was held at Acton College, was a resounding success with over 350 young people from across London attending on the day.

over 30 businesses and organisations, including Lloyds TSB, Cultivate London, Ealing Council and the Army, were on hand to talk about their different school leaver and apprenticeship schemes. It is hoped this year even more employers will exhibit at the fair.

Careers Manager Nancy van Den Broeck, who organises the event, said the fair was a good opportunity to find out about the types of apprenticeships on offer: “Many of the students we welcomed at last year’s event came along because they’d heard about apprenticeships, but didn’t really know much else about them. They really valued the opportunity to speak face to face with employers to find out about the

options available and how to apply. Hopefully, we’ll see even more aspiring apprentices this year.”

With the government recently celebrating success at fulfilling its commitment of starting two million apprenticeships in this Parliament, the momentum is set to continue with this type of training. Speaking at last year’s fair, Angie Bray said the growing emphasis on apprenticeships “was a win-win situation” for both students and business: “Businesses are hungry for good, well-trained people who are going to take up a career and contribute to the long-term success of the company. I think it’s very much in the interest of business to take on apprentices and this just so coincides with the interests of lots of young people.”

In recent months, the College’s apprenticeship programmes were

given a stamp of approval by Skills Minister Nick Boles MP during a visit to the College. It has also been announced that the College will be one of a handful of providers in the united kingdom to offer higher level apprenticeships.

A report has shown that Ealing, Hammersmith & West London College contributes £549.4 million to the west London economy each year.

The detailed report, undertaken by uS economic modelling experts EMSI, demonstrates the significant impact the College makes not only on its students’ future earning potential but on the surrounding economy.

Based on data taken from 2012/13, the report states that for every one pound invested in the College, four pounds is returned to the west London economy.

A team of HND computing students, who recently made the finals of the gazelle Colleges’ Market Maker competition, presented their potentially life saving wearable device on the European Commission’s stage at the Skills London event.

Ahmed raya, 22, who presented the prototype on behalf of the team, said developing the Heart Buddy had been a “special experience” and that he had gained a wide range of skills to use throughout his career.

The Heart Buddy connects to a person’s smartphone and sends an alert if it detects abnormal heart rhythms.

Phillips, Principal and CEo, said: “This report illustrates how deeply connected the College is to the local community. It is therefore absolutely vital that we continue to work with our partners in the region to ensure we can continue to provide the

responsive college that west London needs.”

Among the report’s highlights, it is revealed that the College’s students will see their earning potential grow considerably over their working lives, while local businesses see a direct benefit of £43.6 million thanks to College expenditures.

garry Phillips added that the value of a highly skilled workforce could not be underestimated: “The region gains a great deal from a skilled workforce. Not only can workers develop in their careers, they bolster the output of their employers with their abilities. This benefits everyone by increasing regional income creating a more robust economy. We are firmly committed to our role in facilitating the growth and prosperity of west London.”

students work with Acton residents to revAmp communAl spAce

Students from the College’s Prince’s Trust team programme have helped residents in Acton revamp a public space that had fallen into neglect. The gardens had become a target for fly-tipping and anti-social behaviour.

The Mill Hill gardens, located behind Acton College, has been given a makeover thanks to the collaboration between students and resident volunteers.

As part of the team programme, the students chose to support the resident’s garden regeneration project.

Szymon Tusting, 23, a participant on the programme, said the group chose the project because of its potential positive impact on the community: “Before the regeneration, the gardens had become quite run down. We wanted to have a big impact on the community and helping to regenerate the gardens would bring the community together and give people a sense of pride. Hopefully the gardens will stay like this for everybody to enjoy in the future.”

Tatiana Collins, from the Mill Hill Park residents’ Association, praised the input of the students: “The volunteers’ work ethic, enthusiasm and excellent quality of work was very impressive. The result is a transformed

space, open to everyone to enjoy and admire on the way to work, home or weekend shopping. We are very pleased to find such a fantastic partner for our initiative and are extremely hopeful to collaborate together again on other community projects.”

prince’s trust The project was part of the Prince’s Trust team

programme during which students develop their team working and project management skills while making a contribution to the community. For over ten years, the College has helped over 2,000 young people transform their lives. Last year, the College’s team programme was ranked outstanding in the Trust’s Annual Quality review, making it the south east’s leading programme and setting the standard for other providers in the region.

Three students represented the College in the WorldSkills uk finals, the country’s leading training and skills show.

The event, held at Birmingham’s NEC, attracts the country’s most talented young technicians, each of whom earned their place at the final following success in a regional heat.

Two carpenters from Acton College, James godman and Jack Dunne, competed in the site carpentry competition. They were the only London-based carpenters to have made the finals.

Their tutor, Noel Hall, who nominated the students for the competition, said: “over the years, our apprentices have done well at skills competitions. As the only college in London to have finalists in the carpentry competition, it shows

the level of talent we attract here. They have done themselves and everyone at the College proud.”

The College’s other competitor, yasin kultur, an HND in computing student, put his skills to the test in the advanced web development category. He said he wouldn’t have made the finals without the skills he gained on his course: “The College taught me a lot of things such as time management and planning. I am confident because I have good technical knowledge, but even if you know the coding, you will not be successful without those skills.”

WorldSkills uk, managed by the Skills Funding Agency in partnership with organisations from industry and education, is a leading skills competition that gives young technicians the opportunity to showcase their talents on a national stage.

Apprenticeships are a great way to get your career started. Today, thousands of employers across London are looking to take on apprentices and there are new apprenticeship opportunities being announced every day. What is an apprenticeship?

Apprenticeships are on-the-job training that lead to nationally recognised qualifications. Basically, an apprenticeship gives you the chance to earn as you learn. What’s more, apprenticeships are developed in partnerships between colleges and employers, which means you get the skills and training that’s right for your career.

What types of apprenticeships are there?There are more than 250 different types of

apprenticeships available offering over 1,400 job roles. Want to be an accountant? you can do an accountancy apprenticeship. got the ideas and drive to be the next richard Branson? Start your career with a business administration apprenticeship.

Apprenticeships fall into one of three categories: Intermediate Level, Advanced Level and Higher Apprenticeships. If you’re unsure about what level would be right for you, get in touch with our course advisers who will put you on the right track.

What makes an apprenticeship different to other jobs?What makes an apprenticeship different to another job

is that you will also be working towards a qualification alongside your job. These qualifications will be directly relevant to the job that you are doing, whatever role you are working in.

How will I know an apprenticeship is right for me?

If you’re looking to gain a qualification, but like the idea of earning a wage and learning in the workplace, an apprenticeship might just be the opportunity you are looking for. Apprenticeships are a great option to get your career moving, but it’s not the only option. That’s why our course advisers help thousands of students each year find the path that’s right for them.

Everything you need to know about apprenticeships

We’ve put together this quick guide to help you decide whether an apprenticeship would be right for you.

FeAture

How do I apply for an apprenticeship?your first step to becoming an apprentice is to

register with the National Apprenticeships Service at apprenticeships.gov.uk. once you’ve registered and found an employer looking for an apprentice, your next step is find a college that offers the right course.

Will the College find me an employer?unfortunately, the College does not find employers for

students. This is why we recommend you register with the National Apprenticeships Service, which has thousands of opportunities. you may also be interested in joining the College as an apprentice and work in one of our support departments. Head over to wlc.ac.uk/jobs for details.

He has set up a highly successful entrepreneurial social enterprise that has raised millions for aspiring business owners; he co-authored a best selling business book; he became the government’s enterprise ambassador; he was awarded an MBE for Enterprise Culture; and he achieved it all while being hailed as the human face of business by the press.

As the College’s graduation commencement speaker, Tim’s honest and highly entertaining account of his path to success went down very well with new graduates. On the evening, Tim also became the College’s first ever honorary fellow. We spoke to Tim to find out more about his path to success.

How did you start off in business? I fell into business. I followed the normal path and

went through education up to postgraduate level before I got the opportunity to appear on The Apprentice. It was following this real life MBA with Lord Sugar that I launched my entrepreneurial endeavours.

Being inspired by Lord Sugar’s success was critical in the path I have taken and helped me to create the Bright Ideas Trust, which has successfully been supporting start up entrepreneurs for over seven years now.

What challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?

Challenges in business are inevitable but it’s learning from them that I find most valuable. My first business failing due to lack of marketing and too much ego have been invaluable lessons that have stood me in good stead today. Never be afraid to ask for help and get a mentor – a good one is worth their weight in excellent clarity diamonds!

How important has education been in your career? Education in all its forms has been very important for

me in my career. The formal education elements have provided knowledge and individual technical elements which have been complemented with ‘hard knocks’

Apprentice”, Tim Campbell’s career has gone from strength to strength.

interview

education in the real world. Sometimes too much focus is on knowledge and not enough on experience — both are equally important in business.

What skills do you need to be a success in business? Tenacity, confidence and sales are critical for me

but you also need a deep insight into the product or service you are selling. know your onions is a saying that springs to mind!

What does it take to be a successful entrepreneur?All the above with a nice side dish of luck! you still have

to grab the opportunity, take the risk — to be successful you should take the narrow path that few others will.

How can we encourage more entrepreneurship in young people?

Start early and try to balance the risks of failure with the opportunities for success. So many people have great ideas but do not have the confidence or knowledge

on how to do the most important business skill – execute!

Programmes like young enterprise are brilliant as they get young people to start early when fear and risk are seen in a different light.

Who is the most inspiring person you’ve worked with in your career and what did you learn from them?

Lord Sugar and partners on the Bright Ideas Trust like Paul Humphries and richard Morris are obvious ones

but Damon Buffini, karen Blackett oBE, rosaleen Blair and Wol kolade are the most inspiring business people I have had the honour of working with to different degrees.

Wol and Damon really showed me what was truly possible, where the sky is really the limit and they taught me the power of knowing your audience and money.

karen is a leader who truly inspires and is an embodiment of authentic leadership and rosaleen is the most dynamic entrepreneur I have met. All of these people have inspired me. I can’t just do one as I know some really amazing people.

“EDuCATIoN IN ALL ITS ForMS HAS BEEN vEry

IMPorTANT For ME IN My CArEEr.”

1111

What is the achievement you are most proud of in your career?

Launching the Bright Ideas Trust enterprise as it was the first and it has gone on to change the lives of many other people. I think business is about legacy and BIT is a great vehicle which has started over 200 businesses, raised millions and trained thousands of people. I am definitely proud of what the team and I have created and continue to push forward.

What was your biggest career disappointment and what did you learn from it?

The failure of the first business I started. Failing hurt but I realised once the embarrassment dissipated I could focus on two things. Firstly I wasn’t dead (!) and secondly that I could use the experience for the positive development of what I went on to do. Silver linings are brilliant.

Tim Campbell with graduates at the College’s 2014 Graduation Ceremony

What is the one piece of advice you’d give to somebody aspiring to set up their own business?

get as much advice early on as possible. It’s like learning to drive — at first you don’t know anything so find someone who does who can pass on information and guidance. once you know the basics how you ‘drive’ is up to you, but get a good teacher early to create the best platform possible.

Finally, how do you feel about being awarded an honorary fellowship for the College?

I was so honoured to be awarded the honorary fellowship at the College’s graduation ceremony. I felt inadequate to some of the amazing students who had worked hard to make it to their graduation ceremony but I know all about the effort they have put in to get the results they wanted and I hope the relationship with the College will continue for years now as a result of the gratefully received fellowship.

Each issue of Personal Best contains a huge number of part time and short courses, which could help you take the next step in your career or find the job you’ve always wanted. We spoke to our careers advisers to find out more about how a short or part time course can help you.

“A part time or short course is a sound investment.Part time and short courses can usually be combined with paid employment and/or benefits so you don’t need to worry about putting your current source of income at risk. Many of our current students combine their studies with other full time commitments. However, it is absolutely essential that you do your research first to ensure the course you do will help you to realise your goal. If you have any queries about a short or part time course, our Learner Information Service staff are available to offer advice about course and funding options.”

“EDuCATIoN IN ALL ITS ForMS HAS BEEN vEry

IMPorTANT For ME IN My CArEEr.”



Tell us about your background. I was born and bred in Ealing — I went to Northfields and

Fielding Primary and later Walpole grammar School — sadly, both Northfields and Walpole are no longer around today. I was vice chair of Association of Colleges London and occasionally we would meet on the Hammersmith site. I was a governor at Barnet College for 25 years, chair for 15 years, and I hope I can bring that experience to the College. one thing I will make clear is that the students must be the centre of all activity, because it’s all about the students. It’s skilling the people of the locality.

What were your first impressions about the College?The College has a great reputation and it has a great

history, and history will be repeated — it has a great future. I’ve been impressed with what I’ve seen so far. The recent graduation ceremony at Ealing Town Hall was an example of an achievement — we saw a community there that is skilling itself to serve the community. Particularly in health and care but also hospitality — this college is producing highly skilled people.

Why is this college important for the community?

The College has a real part to play in ensuring London continues to build, whether it’s construction, healthcare or general education. This college has given people the opportunity to shine for those who didn’t at school. But it shouldn’t be seen as the Cinderella of education. FE (further education) colleges have more A Level passes than schools. you find there’s no great affinity for FE in politics, but if you look at the facts, FE colleges are supplying what the country needs. Policy makers need to think about it — most FE students live in a community of four people, so more than 100,000 people have a direct connection to this college. Politicians, for instance, should realise that many of their constituents are therefore involved in FE and should really take notice of their students and their staff and all their families as they are a major part of their constituency.

Interview with Chair of Governors Tony Alderman

With over 30 years of experience in further education, Tony joins the College at an exciting moment in its history.

interview

What will you bring to your role as Chair? Working with the management team, I know the

difference between strategy and operations, and governors while they should be interested in operations, don’t interfere. They ensure that the targets that they have set, are met. If they are not met, they should take appropriate action. It’s setting an education stance that is fit for purpose, because it’s what the community needs.

What are the main priorities for the College in the coming years?

We must find out what the business community requires, then educate our students with the relevant

skill sets. Essentially we have products to sell and so we must carry out marketing research and find out what the customer wants. Apprenticeships are flavour of the month with both the current government and the opposition, so we should be looking to provide more apprenticeships. Learning your trade in both a practical and an academic way — this is what apprenticeships were like in the first place. There’s nothing wrong with old fashioned ideas that have been

modernised to fit the 21st century.

How do you see the College working with partners?I don’t think we should be frightened of working in

collaboration with private training providers and other colleges. With local authorities, for instance, perhaps providing courses when a school hasn’t been able to. Working with schools for the 14+ cohort is extremely valuable, both academically and also in the skill set. It’s all about finding out from industry what they require and putting on those courses. Working with London First and Chambers of Commerce, meeting up with them and finding out. Working with trade groups and unions such as the TuC, CBI — a number of individual trade unions are interested in training their members. Working in collaboration with true partners. Working

closely with other universities too in delivering higher level qualifications — it was great to see our partners Middlesex and Westminster at the recent graduation.

What makes this college special?What makes this college special is that it is here for

anyone in the community, it provides education at a very basic and a very advanced level, so it is there for everybody. First and foremost, it is a college that serves its local community.

Tony Alderman at Ealing, Hammersmith & West London College

Graduation Ceremony 2014

What are you looking forward to seeing at the College in the near future?

To see the success rates improve, to find out that what you are doing is actually helping the community. When you see the genuine love from the students for college staff at, say, graduation, it makes you think yes, we are doing something right. Also seeing where students aren’t successful and following that up, building up a full picture. It’s really important to spend time with students during enrolment to ensure they join the correct course, a course that is appropriate for their talents. Everyone’s got talent; it’s about maximising the talent that an individual has on a programme that’s right for them.
