Hull, Harrogate and Goole Colleges have all enjoyed months of success across a range of skills competitions, awards and exams, with students recognised in a huge range of local and national competitions, and one student now set to possibly compete at an international level. Hull College Group itself has also been singled out for its commitment to a project which is revitalising local communities.

This edition of the Review features a number of success stories, including student fashion designers recognised for their bridal gowns, best-ever exam results and prizes for everything from plasterwork to theatrical make up, patisserie skills, brickwork, enterprise and sport.

We are extremely proud of all students who participate in competitions and we are delighted by the level of success which we have seen.

We encourage all students to get involved in competitions, as they provide an excellent opportunity to further develop skills and build confidence. Those who achieve in the contests they enter are an inspiration to their peers and a testament to the staff who teach them.

My congratulations to all of those who are included in this table – hopefully we will continue our winning streak in 2014-15.

Turn to the back pages for a table listing our students who have had competition success across a huge range of disciplines.

Season of success for Hull College GroupA message from Hull College Group Chief Executive Gary Warke

Six Hull College students have reached the finals of a national skills competition, where they will compete for the title of UK Champion in their chosen skill. The WorldSkills UK National Skills Competitions Final will be held at the Skills Show at the NEC Birmingham in November, bringing together some of the UK’s top Apprentices and students.

From Hull College, Jonathan Buttery will compete in Joinery, Jaqueline Rodgers in Nail Enhancements, Ollie Forbes, Violet Neumann and Saskia Blacker in Video Moving Image, and Tom Dixon in Bricklaying. Tom was ‘highly commended’ in his category in last year’s competition – he was one of three Hull College students to have success at Worldskills UK 2013, with Aaron Penn winning a gold medal for Confectionary and Patisserie, and Connor Cutsforth a bronze medal for Brickwork. Connor has subsequently been selected for the UK Squad and will compete for a chance to represent the UK at the World Skills finals in Brazil 2015.

On the day, each competitor will take part in live tasks which will test their abilities in their chosen area. The aim of Worldskills UK is to inspire competitors to be ambitious in their pursuit of skills to the highest level.

Hull College Principal and World Skills UK champion for Yorkshire and the Humber Graham Towse said: “I extend my sincere congratulations to all six of our students who have reached the finals of the Worldskills UK competition. They have already demonstrated significant abilities and commitment in making it to this stage of the competition.

“Each of them is a fantastic example of the highly skilled students we have at Hull College across a wide range of vocational areas and we are very proud that they will be representing the College and the city of Hull at the finals of Worldskills UK.

“We are particularly pleased to be returning to the final after the significant success we had last year.”

WorldSkills UK is organised by The Skills Show, the nation’s largest skills and careers event. The Skills Show spent three days at Hull College in July, drawing thousands of visitors who had the opportunity to try out a selection of hands-on skills-based activities. The aim of the show is to inspire young people to explore further education, skills and Apprenticeships.

Hull College students head to UK final of skills competition


Hull College Construction apprentice Connor Cutsforth has been selected as part of a squad of students who could represent the UK in an international skills competition in Brazil.

Connor, 20, who is an apprentice with Beal Homes was named as part of Squad UK for WorldSkills São Paulo 2015 after being voted one of the the best young bricklayers at the World Skills UK competition this year. The squad represents the UK’s top talent across a wide variety of skills areas. Connor will now have to prove himself against the other Squad UK finalists in order to make the final UK team.

WorldSkills is the largest international skills competition in the world. Held every two years, the competition sees around 1,000 young people, aged 18-25, from all over the world come together to compete for medals in more than 40 different skills including Engineering, Electrical Installation, Welding, Web Design, Cooking and Bricklaying. WorldSkills São Paulo 2015 will take place from 11-16 August.

Hull College Principal Graham Towse said: “We were extremely proud when three of our apprentices won awards at the UK final of WorldSkills in 2013. It is an extremely

tough competition and succeeding on a national stage is a huge achievement. The fact that Connor has now gone on to be selected to potentially represent the UK in Brazil is simply phenomenal. He is a very talented young man, an excellent role model for young people and a real credit to his family, the city, Hull College and his employers Beal Homes.

“He is a real example of the outstanding level of talent and commitment that employers can expect when they choose to take on a Hull College Apprentice. We wish him all the best for 2015 and are confident he has what it take to make the team.”

Connor said: It is a huge honour to have been selected as a member of Squad UK and to represent the brickwork industry. I know the next few months will be tough as I will fit my training around my role at Beal Homes, but I’m determined to fight for a place in the team that will go to WorldSkills Sao Paulo 2015.”

Minister for Skills and Enterprise Matthew Hancock said: “The young people who have earned a place on Squad UK are ambassadors for our country and demonstrate how high quality apprenticeships can lead to successful

careers. I congratulate each and every member of Squad UK.”

Connor will now spend the next 11 months training with the full support of Hull College, his employer, and a dedicated training manager. In May next year the members of Squad UK will compete for a coveted placed in the team that will represent the UK at WorldSkills São Paulo 2015.

Ross Maloney, Chief Executive, Find a Future, which manages the UK’s entry into the WorldSkills Competition said: “I offer my congratulations to every young person that has earned a place in Squad UK.

“Skills competitions showcase the high levels of performance that can be achieved by individuals and organisations through high quality further education, skills training and Apprenticeships.”

The training programme for Squad UK includes EuroSkills Lille 2014, which is Europe’s largest skills competition and takes place from 1 – 5 October 2014, as well as The Skill Show 2014, which takes place from 13-15 November.

Construction apprentice sets sights on Brazil for World skills competition


A Harrogate College student was named the country’s Best Student Designer in the national Bridal Buyer Awards. Samantha Henty, who studies fashion at Harrogate, was among eight students from both Harrogate and Hull College to reach the final of the prestigious competition. A total of five Hull students and another two from Harrogate were all among those selected as having the best designs.

Each competing student created a mood board and specification sheets, as well as the wedding dress itself. The challenge set by the judging panel was to demonstrate a comprehension of the female form, and to suggest fabrics suitable for a royal bride.

Samantha’s fellow Harrogate students who made the final were Thekla Hall and Charlotte Roe, both in their second year FdA Fashion Design and Production, while the successful Hull candidates were Jennifer Sygrove, Jessica Harrison and Leonie Atkinson, all of whom are studying BA (Hons) Applied Creative Design: Fashion, as well as Damien Mackinder and Natalie Clark, studying FdA Fashion Design & Interpretation.

Samantha, who in addition to winning her award earned a First Class BA Hons

in Applied Creative Design, said: “It was a very exciting evening and I’m delighted to have won. I’m now really excited about starting my career with Eternity Bride who sponsored the category and have offered me a job!”.

Lynn Benson, Programme Leader Fashion & Costume, said: “At both Harrogate and Hull College we have an abundance of very talented young people who always rise to the challenges of national and international competitions, proving unique solutions.

“The Bridal Buyers competition challenge to create a wedding dress for a royal bride was no exception – all students’ final creations were extremely creative, using fabric and trimming to produce that special dress which had panache and individuality for a bride’s memorable day.”

Jessica Harrison, 21, will now undertake an internship with London-based bridal designer Jenny Packham. She said: “I’m really excited about what comes next – I’m looking forward to my internship and really excited about the opportunity to be in London. I’ve loved the time I’ve spent studying, a highlight has been the fashion shows every year.”

Jenny Sygrove, 23, has an internship with Ellis Brides, in London. She says: “I was delighted to get so far in the competition, I worked really hard - my dress has a skirt with three trains and is 20-feet long. I’m lucky to have my internship too.”

Natalie Clark, 20, will undertake an internship with Ian Stuart Bride, London. “I was really surprised to reach the final, because this was the second time I’d done it – I reached the final last year too, so never expected it again. I enjoyed the experience of taking part, although it was hard on top of all my other work”.

Gary Warke, Chief Executive of Hull College Group, said: “We are incredibly proud of all eight of our students who made the final and particularly of Samantha, for doing outstandingly well.

“At Hull College Group we place great importance on encouraging our students to showcase their work and to receive national recognition from industry professionals is a reflection of the extremely high standard they are working at. We are sure that all of those recognised have an exceptional career ahead of them”.

National recognition for student designers


Hull College Group celebrates record exam results Students and staff across Hull College Group celebrated superb exam results this summer, with record achievements across GCSEs. The GCSE pass rate was 100 per cent at Hull College, 100 per cent at Goole College and 98 per cent at Harrogate College.

Records were also set for GCSE pass rates at grade A*-C, with a new high of 57.19 per cent at Hull College, 57.78 per cent in Goole and 62.18 per cent in Harrogate.

Graham Towse, Principal at Hull College, said: “We are incredibly proud of the results achieved by our GCSE students. The achievements reflect a significant amount of time and effort committed by both students and staff. This has been a record year for us in terms of both pass rates and the number of students achieving those all-important A*-C grades.

“Many of our GCSE students are adults who return to education to strengthen their CVs or improve their chances of getting a job – it is never too late to come back to College”.

Mary Clarke, 61, began studying for a maths GCSE after retiring following a career as a teacher. Although she had

a maths O Level, she wanted to return to learning to improve her skills. She obtained an A*.

She says: “I’d always enjoyed teaching maths and I was keen to take it further. Some of the material was familiar to me, but a lot of it was new. I’d hoped to get

my predicted grade of an A*, but it was a relief to actually get the result.

“My tutor was excellent and provided all the support I could have needed.”


Catering students from Hull College have had a series of successes at a local and national level, winning prizes in a series of prestigious competitions, including Matchfit, Wessex Salon Culinaire and the Hotelympia Culinary Championships.

Students and staff have won more than 40 prizes over the past academic year across a wide range of disciplines, from patisserie skills to bread making. The competitors have been all over the country and tested their skills against the best performing people in the industry.

At the Culinary Championships, held at London’s Hotelympia, College representatives gained an incredible array of medals which included five silver, three bronze, two merit awards and an ‘Outstanding best in show’.

At the finals of the Matchfit competition, held at Kirklees College in March, two students were awarded for their skills in breadmaking and displaying. James Braithwaite and Connor Tock took home a bronze medal and fourth place respectively.

Matchfit is a competition held throughout the north of the country, which aims to inspire learners with hands-on competitions and activities.

Jessica Marshall, a level 3 Food Preparation and Cooking student, brought further success to the College when she swept the board at the Grand Final of the British Turkey Cookery competition 2014. Jessica and Course tutor Ian Snedden spent weeks perfecting her competition dish prior to it being selected for the final. Jessica was pitched against some of the top learners from around the country, but on the day it was her dish that judges ‘gobbled down’ and deemed best in show. Culinary students from around the country were invited to participate in the competition, which required them to use British turkey thighs or breast meat in an original dish. The standard of entries was extremely high and Jessica faced tough competition, but ultimately came out on top.

Finally, a team of both students and staff won a total of 30 awards from the Wessex Salon Culinaire – an annual contest which brings together the best student chefs from around the country. Competing across a range of categories, the group took home four gold medals, seven silver, four bronze, eight merit awards, five Best in Class commendations and the highly contested overall prize for Best College. The competition took place over two days, at Brockenhurst College, Hampshire, in the New Forest.

Hull College Principal Graham Towse said: “The collective success of students and staff from throughout the catering department is just fantastic – we’re all extremely proud of everyone who has competed.

“These repeated successes are a reflection of the hard work and dedication of everyone who has competed – they all put hours into preparing for these competitions and it has absolutely paid off”.

From June 24-26, Hull College was transformed into an interactive skills showcase, when it hosted the Skills Show Experience. The event offered the opportunity to try a huge range of skill areas and have a go at everything from building a wall to beauty treatments, and 3D virtual reality aircraft repair to preparing chef-style vegetables. More than 2,000 people from across the region turned up to take part, with many requesting course information after sparking a new passion.

The event incorporated many of the College’s vocational areas, including Engineering, Renewables, Welding and Construction, Digital Industries and Visitor Economy careers such as Hair, Beauty and Catering. There was also a Job Centre Plus (JCP) stand with all the latest vacancies.

The event was part of a series taking place nationwide and, of a total of 220, it was the largest. The free entry and have-a-go format proved extremely popular with visitors. One of the key attractions was a specially customised HGV trailer called MANTRA – the 17-metre truck contained the very latest machinery and virtual reality simulators, allowing participants to have a virtual taste of a wide variety of high tech industries.

Hull College Principal Graham Towse said: “Over the three days we had more than 2,000 people through the doors, including school groups, college-age students and adults. The feedback we received was superb – people were so enthusiastic about having the chance to try out so many different skill areas. Just some of the have-a-go activities we offered included building a wall, making a birdbox, a welding simulator, a 3D virtual

reality simulator of an aircraft engine, changing a tyre on a gritter, loads of different catering activities, first aid, childcare, hairdressing and more.

“A real benefit of the Skills Show Experience was that it provided a rare opportunity for people to try out a range of very different skills and careers within one place. Visitors have been able to go from welding to construction to childcare to beauty and really discover where their interests lie. We’ve then been able to help them identify courses and training routes within the areas they want to make a career in.

“We were also pleased to welcome a huge number of external partners, including local businesses, organisations and training providers. Everyone worked together to provide a really comprehensive view of what is on offer locally and what skills are needed.

“Skills in certain areas, like engineering, welding and digital technologies, are going to be particularly important in the future. We still have a skills gap locally and it’s going to be crucial for Colleges like ourselves to work with both industry and students to ensure those gaps are filled with skilled, prepared local workers.”

Jack Scarr, Project Manager at Matchfit, the Humber region’s own vocational skills competition, praised the event after paying a visit, saying: A colleague and I visited the Skills Show at Hull College and were impressed. Some great exhibits and activities. Particularly the ‘100 Years of Care’ exhibit – it had a really dramatic feel to it aided by the music, the displays and the staff dressed in authentic uniforms. It felt like the whole campus was involved”.

Hull College has teamed up with fast-growing local business Spencer Group, which has taken on 12 Apprentices – the most in the company’s history.

The dozen recruits all started on the same day after the College and Hull-based specialist engineering business Spencer formed a partnership to create bespoke training programmes to develop the next generation of local talent for the company.

Every one of the young people, who range in age from 17 to 29, either previously studied at Hull College or will begin studying now, after being identified by the College as matching the company’s requirements in terms of skills, personality and attitude. The College said it was a great example of how it works with local employers to shape programmes to meet their specific skills and training needs.

Six of the Apprentices are enrolled on a Technical Construction

Apprenticeship, five on a Software Development Higher Level Apprenticeship – the only one of its kind in the UK – and one on a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) Apprenticeship. They join two pre-existing Business Administration Apprentices and two IT Services Apprentices.

The new recruits are:

• Technical Construction Apprentices: Jamie Hartley, 26, of Hull; Philip Kirkwood, 29, of Hull; Keiron Musgrave, 17, of Barton upon Humber; Jonah O’Leary, 18, of Bransholme; Daniel Sach, 22, of Driffield; and Ryan Walters, 18, of Kirkella.

• Software Development Apprentices: Josh Barker, 18, of Hessle; Alfie Driver, 20, of Hull; Jack Hardcastle, 20, of Hessle; Ryan Palmer, 18, of Hull; and Lee Westoby, 23, of Brough.

• CAD Apprentice: Courtney Harris, 17, of Elloughton.

Hull College Principal Graham Towse said: “What is really pleasing is that this is a true partnership. These apprenticeship programmes have been developed with Spencer Group to create a package that directly suits the needs of the employer.

“We have worked with Spencer to identify these young people, in some cases quite early on, prior to them finishing their college courses. Spencer has been able to engage with and nurture them, so that when the company is ready to offer an apprenticeship they are already moulded to fit the role, they understand the values of the company and they can hit the ground running.

“Having met all these young people they are very confident, mature and smartly turned out. They understand the great opportunity available to them and they’re raring to go.”

Hull College has worked with Spencer to develop bespoke apprenticeship programmes for the company, combining workplace experience with technical and academic learning, using a tried-and-trusted approach to shaping its curriculum to match the specific needs of partner employers.

Mr Towse said working with the College was a low-risk strategy for employers as they were able to identify the very best and most suitable candidates.

He added: “Spencer is a forward-thinking company which is growing very fast. It recognises the value of apprenticeships and is investing very significantly in the area’s local talent.

Spencer Group takes on record number of Apprentices

Software Development Apprentice Lee Westoby, 23, from Brough, East Riding, has just completed a full-time Level 3 Next Generation Software Developer Course at Hull College having returned to education to develop his skills in order to carve out a career. He was then put forward by his tutor to Spencer who selected him for the Apprenticeship after interview.

He said: “The other option for me was to go to university, but you could go to university to study for three or four years and then come back to try to find a job like this. This way you cut out the university part and you are using the skills and earning straight away.

“This company is planning a lot of growth, so you really feel that there will be opportunities for development and progression, which I am looking forward to.

“It’s a big commitment for the company to take on so many apprentices at the same time. It’s new territory for them as well as us, so we’ll be learning together. It’s also good to have a support network of people who are going through the same experiences as you.”


“This is a great way to inform young people, parents and teachers about the benefits of apprenticeships and how they are a high-quality progression route, which opens up great careers opportunities.”

Spencer Training Manager Aaron McIver said: “These appointments demonstrate our commitment to invest in the young people of our home city and in the future of our industry.

“Working with a valued partner in Hull College, we are proud to offer these young people the opportunity to gain tremendous experience in a business which operates nationally and internationally and be part of our exciting growth plans”.

Mr McIver continued: “This group of apprentices is the most we have ever employed, but as the business grows we anticipate taking more in future years to service our growth aspirations.

“We are based here in Hull, we were founded here and one of the things we are passionate about is investing in the local community. We want to provide opportunities for local people and the talent in this area is phenomenal.

“This is a long-term programme and we intend that every single one of them will still be with us in permanent positions when

they complete their apprenticeship programmes in 18 months to two years. The opportunities will be there for them to grow and develop their careers as the company grows.”

Mr McIver added: “We’ve had a great experience with Hull College, hence why we use them as our only supplier of apprenticeships.

“All the apprenticeships we offer are bespoke to our needs and the only way we have been able to achieve that has been through working closely with Hull College. It really feels like we’re in this together.

“Hull College understands what we’re looking for, the type of character we go for and they can meet our requirements in terms of numbers of apprentices. The facilities at Hull College are also second to none so which adds to their capability to deliver apprenticeships for us.”

Computer-Aided Design (CAD) Apprentice Courtney Harris, 17, from Elloughton, East Riding, recently completed A Levels in art, photography and design technology at Hull Collegiate School. She initially applied for a Technical Construction Apprenticeship with Spencer Group, through Hull College, but when interviewed by Spencer it was thought her skills best matched an apprenticeship within the company’s Design Team.

She said:“This is a massive company and I’m really pleased to have joined, especially as they have created an apprenticeship in CAD for me, so I’m very happy to be here.

“This is a fabulous opportunity. I get experience and qualifications at the same time. If I had gone to university I wouldn’t be getting the experience and I would also have left university with student debt, which I didn’t want.”

Technical Construction Apprentice Jonah O’Leary, 18, from Bransholme, Hull, joined Hull College at just 14 as part of studying for a Level 2 Diploma in Construction and the Built Environment at Winfred Holtby School, Bransholme. For the past two years he has been studying full-time for a Level 3 Construction Diploma.

He said:“This is the start of a career, not just a new job. Since I finished college I have been counting down the days to start here.

“This programme gives us the opportunity to use what we have learned at college into practice in the workplace in a wide range of different aspects of construction.

“An apprenticeship shows a real commitment from the business to your development. It makes you feel really appreciated. This company wants to try new things, just as we do.

Everyone wants to grow together and I feel really glad to be a part of it.”


Shadow Education Secretary visits Goole 14-16 CollegeShadow Education Secretary Tristram Hunt (Lab) has visited Goole College, meeting staff and students and speaking about the importance of vocational qualifications. Mr Hunt was particularly interested in the Goole 14-16 College, spending time speaking to students about why they made the decision to leave school and follow a route at the College combining GCSEs and vocational work.

Goole’s 14-16 College, part of Hull College Group, launched in September 2013 as one of only five facilities in the country. It was awarded the highest possible rating by Ofsted in its first monitoring visit in April and saw an increase in student numbers for September 2014.

Mr Hunt spent some time in the College’s welding workshop, which recently underwent a £500,000 refurbishment through funding secured by the Hull and Humber Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) under the Government’s City Deal policy.

Goole College Principal Lynne Richardson said: “We were delighted to welcome Mr Hunt to the College. His visit provided an opportunity to discuss the importance of providing a vocational option for students, and the benefits which can be gained from offering this option from age 14.

“We are extremely proud of our 14-16 College and it was a pleasure to see the students speaking to the Shadow Education Secretary so enthusiastically about their studies and the vocational element of their courses”.

Hull College Group Chief Executive Gary Warke said: “With more than 200 14-16-year-old students studying full time at Hull and Goole College we are proud that we are the largest provider of this offer in the country providing an outstanding opportunity for young people in our region to study a high quality, vocational progression pathway at college from age 14 to 21”.


Harrogate College and Goole College – both part of the Hull College Group – are to receive several million pounds in Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) funding. At both colleges the funds will be used to regenerate the existing campus, improve facilities and enhance student experience.

Harrogate College, which has had funds committed by the York and North Yorkshire LEP, will see the design and build of a new specialist centre providing high quality vocational education in the region, while its existing Hornbeam Park campus will be undergo substantial renovation. The new campus will provide expansion of existing curriculum areas and the development of new skills training in areas such as the visitor economy, health and social care, business services, creative and cultural industries and construction, manufacturing and related trades – key priorities identified by the LEP to ensure growth within the region.

The project will also allow the College to expand the number of courses it offers at a degree level and above, in response to the LEP’s reported demand for future higher level skills.

At Goole College £992,000 will be ploughed into new facilities following funds committed by the Humber LEP. A Centre of Excellence will be developed at the College’s Boothferry Road site, providing skills training in areas such as fabrication and welding, construction and logistics, all of which have been identified as priorities by the LEP. The College will work collaboratively with other members of the virtual ‘Humber Energy Campus’ to provide the full range of skills needed to ensure growth within the Humber region. At Goole College, £500,000 of LEP funding has previously been invested in fully refurbished workshops in partnership with Weldability

SIF, the national UK welding distributor with over 100 years’ experience in the sector. The investment involved installationof a Weldability suite at the College and practical engineering workshops, as well as state-of-the-art Virt-U-Weld technology, which allows students to virtually weld using a computer programme.

The project will further extend the College’s current engineering workshop and install a new logistics hub raising skills and employability to support the local workforce to take advantage of the future career opportunities created by the inward investment.

Principal of Harrogate College, Debra Forsythe-Conroy said: “I am absolutely delighted with the investment committed to Harrogate College by the York and North Yorkshire Local Enterprise Partnership. This investment will support both the remodelling of the College and expansion in existing and new curriculum areas and supports our commitment to securing increased employment opportunities by raising skills and employability.”

Principal of Goole College, Lynne Richardson said: “I’m delighted with the investment committed to Goole College by the Humber Local Enterprise Partnership. This investment will increase the capacity of the college by 100 per cent and support expansion into exciting new curriculum areas.

“The investment supports our commitment to securing increased employment opportunities for the Humber region by raising skills and employability levels, enhancing our ability to benefit from the forthcoming inward investment to the region.”

Harrogate and Goole Colleges set for

significant investment


For the third time, Hull College Group has reached the finals of a prestigious national award scheme. The Green Gown Awards, now in their tenth year, recognise exceptional sustainability initiatives being undertaken by universities and colleges across the UK. Hull College Group received its nomination in the Social Responsibility category for its involvement in the East Hull Voids projects, under which construction students have worked with local businesses and organisations to completely refurbish derelict homes. Many have now been completed, with more still set to benefit.

This is the second time the Voids have earned the Group a spot on the finalists list for the Green Gowns, following a nomination in 2012, and it was also Highly Commended in the Social Responsibility category in 2010.

Shane Foster, Head of Division of Engineering and Construction, put together the award entry and has led the Voids project.

He said: “We’re delighted to reach the finals in what was an exceptionally tough category. More than 200 of our students have participated in this project and

they’ve worked to a thoroughly professional standard. It’s excellent work experience for them and looks fantastic on a CV. It’s also a venture which really benefits local communities – in terms of both returning the refurbished properties and the resulting improvement of the surrounding areas.

“We work with Probe, a local non-profit organisation, and with Hull City Council. Finished properties are either rented or sold at very reasonable rates and any profits go right back into the project. It is sustainable, a valuable learning tool for all those students involved and is tackling at grassroots the problem of unoccupied properties in areas very much in need of regeneration”.

Representatives from the Group will now attend an award ceremony in Manchester this November – the black-tie event will bring leaders, drivers and thinkers of sustainability initiatives from across the education sector.

Within its category, Hull College Group will be up against eight other finalists, most of which are universities.

Regeneration scheme nets College award nomination


Students and staff from Hull College brought Christmas in July to families who use a children’s centre severely damaged in December’s tidal surge. Volunteers from the College’s Business and Management, Travel and Tourism, and Computing courses raised funds to buy toys for the children of Walker St Children’s Centre and had originally planned to deliver them at Christmas 2013. But when flooding put the festive delivery on hold, the team had to pack away their Christmassy costumes until the summer.

The families, all of whom have a child with a disability, have still not been able to return to the Walker Street facility, but are making the most of a temporary base at Priory Road. They were delighted when the festive troupe turned up out of season and handed out their host of goodies, including toys, treats and balloons.

Liz Tearle, teacher in charge at the Children’s Centre said: “I was thrilled when I was informed about the fundraising from Hull College. It is great to see how much hard work and effort from both the students and the staff has been performed to make this event a great success for the centre and our children.”

The project is an annual venture, under which students organise a series of activities and events to raise money for charity. This year, the beneficiaries were the children’s centre and cancer charity Macmillan. A total of £1,500 was raised through a charity showcase, raffles and other initiatives.

Lydia Kemp, 20, a second year Business and Management student said: “I volunteered to buy the presents for the Children’s Centre event, using the money we’d raised to buy the list of specified presents for the centre. It was great fun and I was delighted to be involved with two great charity causes during my studies”.

More than 20 children received a gift, including click clack cars, Happyland figures, light-up Koosh toys, Farmyard animals, bubble machines and skittle sets.

Hull College lecturer Alex Alterskye, who organises the project, said: “It’s always a pleasure to be able to take gifts to the children’s centre and the students learn a lot through their involvement in the project and work hard to ensure it is a success and that there are enough funds to buy something for every child.

“It was disappointing for everyone when the tidal surge closed down the centre and meant that the children couldn’t get their presents, however it was a novelty brining some Christmas cheer to the summer months and really rewarding to see how much the kids enjoyed themselves”.

Off-season Santa visit for children’s centre


Hull College’s Employability Hub continues to have an extremely high success rate finding work for people who have spent a number of years out of work.

Strong partnerships with local businesses have ensured the Employability team is able to secure work placements and employment opportunities across a wide range of sectors.

The Employability Hub runs a number of different short courses, all aimed at helping unemployed adults into work.

The Sector Based Work Academies organised by the Hub offer participants the chance to undertake work experience, earn qualifications with the opportunity of securing a job upon completion. All participants academy are directly referred by the Job Centre Plus.

Julie Lockley, Employability Hub Manager said: “It is especially pleasing to see students who have been unsuccessful with other providers achieve on one of our courses. I believe that this is down to considered course planning, exceptional classroom delivery and the ongoing support offered by the Employability Hub”.

Recent successes include:

• Four students who gained full-time employment at local companies DHS Hospitality Agency, Greencore, Douglas James LTD and Tony Lawson. The students developed skills that helped

them tap into hidden job markets and make a positive first impression. Each received an NCFE Employability Award Level 1 qualification

• Two students, Vicky Woodall and Josh Faulkner, attended a Sector Based Work Academy in Hospitality for the opportunity to work at Hull’s new American diner, Liberty’s. Both successfully gained their Basic Food Hygiene Level 2 qualifications full time employment. Liberty’s joint owner Karen said: “Participating in a work academy with Hull College made employing staff much easier; the relationship was fantastic and the work they did was exceptional”

• Student William Skerett joined an Employability Sector Based Work Academy for a consortium of employers in the hospitality industry. This academy was aimed at those looking for front of house, customer service and bar work. William discovered a job vacancy at the Deep and asked his Employability Coach, Gareth Poole to help prepare his application. William was successful, and was chosen from more than 1,000 applicants. He said: “The Sector Based Work Academy gave me the skills and confidence I needed to help me with my interview to get the job. The support I was given during the course and after was fantastic”

• In July the Employability Hub delivered its most successful academy to date for Greencore Group plc, the leading international manufacturer of convenience foods and celebration cakes. Over the course of a Sector Based Work Academy, students worked in teams to build confidence through group discussions. The group covered health and safety within an industrial work place, using presentations, activities, discussions and relating to real work situations. They also spent time in a training kitchen to prepare and present a buffet to Job Centre Plus staff. Every student who attended was successful in gaining employment. Julie Lockley said: “The Hub always achieves amazing results from Sector Based Work Academies but 100 per cent is truly outstanding”.

Continued successes for Hull College’s Employability Hub

Ultimate selfie for talented Hull College art student

A Hull College art student scored the ultimate selfie when A-list actor Aaron Paul, star of US series Breaking Bad, posed with a piece of his work. Talented Ashley Norris, studying for his Foundation Diploma in Art and Design, with a specialism in Fine Art, has a passion for portrait drawing and, as a fan of hit US drama Breaking Bad, decided to render the actor in pencil. Once the piece was complete, he shared it via image-led social media channel Instagram, where a chain of events led to Aaron, who plays Jesse Pinkman on the show, seeing the picture and giving it an official seal of approval by posing with his face next to his line-drawn likeness.

Ashley is a frequent Instagram user and one of his followers on the site happens to be Aaron Paul’s niece. As soon as Ashley uploaded his drawing of her famous uncle, she spotted it and showed it to her mum – Aaron’s sister. Next, the sister got in touch and asked if Ashley would be happy to post the drawing over to the US so that Aaron could see it. Ashley agreed, but – showing a further creative streak – asked for a selfie in return. Aaron, who was delighted with the image, happily obliged. In fact, he liked the drawing so much he asked if he could keep it – a request Ashley could not refuse.

Ashley says: “Instagram and social media really is mad. Just before Aaron took the photo, I got a message from another one of his nieces called Averee, she sent me a photo of her holding my drawing saying ‘So amazed by your drawing of my uncle!’ I was a bit shocked that she had seen it too.

“Then a few weeks after Aaron took the selfie, his mum and dad started following me on twitter, and another one of his sisters on Instagram! Still waiting for a follow from Aaron though, that would be the icing on the cake”.

Lecturer Frances Kelly, who teaches Ashley, said: “Ashley is very talented and puts a huge amount of detail into his work – you could say he is obsessed by it. It’s fantastic that his portrait of Aaron Paul was endorsed by the actor himself, it’s proof that social media can be a fantastic tool for sharing work and for increasing your profile. If you are savvy in the way that you use social media and follow the right people it can be extremely powerful, as Ashley has proved.

“Ashley’s work featured in our end of year show alongside his fellow students’. We’re extremely proud of all of them”.

A careers event at Goole College drew hundreds of visitors, as well as key employers from the community. Held on October 10, the event offered local people the chance to meet employers and training providers, participate in mock interviews and improve CVs with a workshop. There was also the opportunity to find out about volunteering.

In total, the job fair drew 350 members of the public, 15 employers, 10 provider organisations and five volunteer groups. Those who came on the hunt for employment opportunities were able to hand in their CVs and pick up job application forms.

Staff from Goole’s Job Centre Plus carried out mock interviews to help prepare candidates for the real thing – they took them through common questions, and discussed interview etiquette and tips.

Caremark Home Care for the elderly was one of the employers there to seek new recruits. Daniel Rhodes of Caremark said he invited a number of candidates he met at the event to undergo inductions and checks at the company.

Lynne Richardson, Goole College Principal, said: “I am delighted the careers event took place here for the second year running.

“The college is available to host community events like this, and we pride ourselves on having a strong partnership with local businesses and residents”.

Goole-based Townends Accountants were among the businesses which attended. Lesley Strangward, of the company’s human resources department, said they had been very busy answering questions and taking CVs. Engineering giant Siemens also sent representatives to the career event, and explained there would be potential job opportunities for Goole people once its planned £160 million wind turbine factory in Hull was complete. The company received a number of enquiries about work opportunities and Apprenticeships.

The event was hosted by the region’s Conservative MP Andrew Percy. He said: “Many people who are looking for work just need that extra push and access to employers

helps with this. It is about jobseekers having an open conversation with employers, which is something you don’t get when you send off a job application”.
