Promoting apprenticeships
Promoting apprenticeships as a great route into careers, as well as improving promotional opportunities, is part of Debbie’s role at the Group. Earlier this year she joined a Government level meeting at No 10 to talk to those at the highest level of educational funding about shaping apprenticeships for the future.
“Apprenticeships are being re-valued by young people and parents who increasingly see them as a route into robust and long-term employment in skilled and technical roles.
“At The Bedford College Group we are the region’s Number One provider of apprenticeships in Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire across huge range of jobs – many of then in new areas of technology-dominated industries, but also social roles such as caring and hair and beauty.”
Debbie’s qualification title is ‘Master of Business Administration (Leadership Practice)’ for which Debbie got a Merit overall.
“The great bit is that for the degree ‘apprenticeship’ part of this programme, which is the End Point Assessment (EPA) I got awarded a Distinction, which I was delighted with,” said Debbie.
