Caroline Openshaw, Head of Public Services

I was previously an Air Cadet at 455 (Morecambe & Heysham) Squadron and since then I’ve always known I wanted to go into the public services as an officer in the RAF. To be an officer, you need a qualification equivalent to A-levels and College offers that. I can do a course that directly links to my chosen career.

Vickilee Caulfield

Teaches: Hairdressing

I love to see the difference between a student starting the course and then when they leave their course. They always gain confidence thanks to their new skills and it's amazing to see them leave with their qualification knowing that I have contributed in helping them achieve it.

Dave Garnett

Teaches: Electrical Installation

My favourite part of my role is being able to recall my industry knowledge and then passing it onto my students. The knowledge I have from working in the industry gives the students a better understanding of real life situations and how to transfer their skills into future careers.
