MP Tom Pursglove, who was appointed as Assistant Government Whip following the 2019 General Election, arrived in the morning to walk around and talk with businesses.

He met with Karen Campbell, Vice Principal of The Bedford College Group of which Tresham College became a part in 2017. They discussed the range of educational and training opportunities which include apprenticeships which can extend up to a degree and also how degrees can be started at Tresham campuses in partnership with the University of Northamptonshire.

“There are so many routes into great careers from your local college,” said Karen.

Tom said: “I want to say a massive “thank you” to all those who came along to my Apprenticeships & Jobs Fair at Tresham College in Corby.

“A great event, with lots of positive feedback from exhibitors – hopefully it will have led to many successful links being forged.”
