Isobell Lawrence Marketing Executive, Content and Code Ltd After leaving school I had little direction or guidance as to the type of career I wanted to pursue, but I knew I didn’t want to stay in school. Coleg Ceredigion gave me the independence I craved as a student who always found school too restrictive. The Business and Management course at Coleg Ceredigion covered a wide variety of business areas, such as the Enterprising module, which ﬁrst inspired me to start my own business. This led to various scholarships and awards as well as my business producing a healthy turnover. I found the advertising and marketing element of the course very engaging so I decided to pursue this as a career. I struggled to make this decision while at school, yet months into my studies at Coleg

The techniques I use range from printing and drawing on paper to painting in oils on canvas and recently I have begun to make large scale, site speciﬁc wall paintings.

Adam Beckett Chef, Australia I started in Hurst House in Laugharne for Michelin Star chef Martin Blunos. I found once you had a job as a chef the chef’s world is very connected and opportunities opened up everywhere. I then moved to Jersey to work with Michelin star chef, Richard Allen, then to the Cotswolds to work with another Michelin star chef, Matt Weedon, where I was soon promoted to chef de partie. From here I moved to work with Mark Jorda, yet another Michelin star chef in a ﬁsh based restaurant which again allowed me to acquire more knowledge and hone my skills.

I’m now working in Australia in a 1 “Hat” restaurant called Jonah’s where I’ve been promoted to a senior role in the kitchen sponsored by the hotel. Coleg Ceredigion provided me with a solid foundation for my career by teaching key skills - skills most chefs in higher cooking still use on a different level as you progress. All this is especially useful when you ﬁnally start cooking professionally and adds to building your conﬁdence. Coleg Ceredigion also taught me the importance of organisational skills, timings of food, and trying to be as ready as possible without compromising on quality and freshness of the food you serve.

Luke Vasey LJV Construction Ltd After leaving Coleg Ceredigion I started working for myself as a sole trader with only myself and with one vehicle. Over the following years the business grew and by now I’m trading as a limited company with six full-time staff and over ten CIS Subcontractors on a regular basis. I am hoping that the company will achieve somewhere in the region of £500k turnover in the next ﬁnancial year. Starting my own company has enabled me to build and buy my own home and provided fantastic opportunities.

I have also been fortunate enough to take on my own apprentices provided by Coleg Ceredigion, some of which have thrived and have become a shining light within my company. I am massively grateful for my time at Coleg Ceredigion and for those who taught me and gave me their time, I will always believe it is down to the individual to make the best of what they have. I was lucky enough to represent the College in the prestigious Skill Build competitions and in 2005 won ﬁrst prize, I was also awarded a number of awards for Outstanding Student including a Welsh Livery Guild prize.

John Thomas John Thomas Joinery I left Coleg Ceredigion in 1986 after studying City & Guilds in Carpentry & Joinery. I ﬁrst started in a small workshop at home, with the help of my father, making items of joinery that were commissioned to me. My work was split between the workshop and site work. I did most of the joinery in my time during the evenings and at weekends. I started with very basic tools and I had no machinery to start with. Gradually I was becoming busier with the joinery as more people got to know of me and my work. Eventually I made the decision to concentrate on manufacturing full time.

CEREDIGION.AC.UK

I worked on my own for the ﬁrst few years with the occasional help of family and friends. I took on my ﬁrst apprentice in 2001 and have also had a couple of work experience pupils from local schools. Today we have grown into a small business employing four bench joiners and one full time apprentice who currently attends Coleg Ceredigion. He is the latest in the line of our trainees to be taken on by us. Historically we have had apprentices from Coleg Ceredigion every year for the last 10 years.

Adam Silcox Student, Coleg Ceredigion / Myfyriwr Coleg Ceredigion The practical side of the course was very enjoyable and it demonstrates the amount of physical hard work required for managing the countryside. I particularly liked learning how to build a dry stone wall, maintaining a dead hedge, and how to manage woodlands. Throughout the two years, I enjoyed the numerous ﬁeld trips and the ecological studies side of the course. During my studies I undertook, on my own accord, a Lantra training course on the use of chainsaws. This was funded mainly by Farming Connect and taught some valuable skills such as cutting wood to a diameter of 30 inches, the use of ropes, and using wedges.

Gwnes Gwn i fwynhau’n arbennig dysgu sut i adeiladu wal gerrig sych, cynnal clawdd marw, a sut i reoli coetiroedd. Drwy gydol y ddwy flynedd, mwynheais y teithiau maes niferus ac ochr astudiaethau ecolegol y cwrs. Yn ystod fy astudiaethau ymgymerais, ar fy liwt fy hun, gwrs hyfforddi Lantra ar y defnydd o lifiau cadwyn. Ariannwyd hyn yn bennaf gan Cyswllt Ffermio a chyflwynodd rhai sgiliau gwerthfawr megis torri coed i ddiamedr o 30 modfedd, y defnydd o raffau, a defnyddio lletemau.

The work experiences that played a large part of the course were the most enjoyable part. These trips included working with the Wildlife Trust at the Teiﬁ marshes in Cilgerran and beating in the Brecon area. The course tutors were enthusiastic and helpful when we needed help and had a great deal of knowledge about the course.

Y proﬁadau gwaith oedd yn chwarae rhan fawr o’r cwrs oedd y rhan mwyaf pleserus. Mae’r teithiau hyn yn cynnwys gweithio gyda’r Ymddiriedolaeth Bywyd Gwyllt yng nghorsydd Teiﬁ yng Nghilgerran a churo coed yn ardal Aberhonddu. Roedd tiwtoriaid y cwrs yn frwdfrydig ac o gymorth pan oedd angen help ac roedd ganddynt lawer iawn o wybodaeth am y cwrs.

Derfel Gwion Reynolds Nursery Assistant, Aberystwyth I was at Coleg Ceredigion for a period of three years in total. Originally I was on the Access to Further Education course and then went on to Foundation Studies. I enjoyed the course very much because I had the opportunity to do different things like going out to different places and on educational trips to experience different things. After this I moved on to study Foundation Studies, which really helped me to learn by doing different subjects and I learnt a lot by the end of the course.

CEREDIGION.AC.UK

This led me on to study Childcare at college. I had the chance to go out on work experience as part of the course. I did my ﬁrst work experience at Ysgol Penrhyn-coch, and then Gogerddan Nursery. When I left the College, I got a job at Gogerddan Nursery because the management team thought I was good with children when I was on work experience. I’m still working at the nursery, looking after children aged 2-3, and I’m having a fantastic time!

Keshia Bradley Student, Aberystwyth University I initially came to Coleg Ceredigion to study GCSEs but eventually stayed on to pursue a Childcare and Education course at level 2 then level 3. Having successfully completed the course I’m now embarking on a degree course in Psychology and Criminology at Aberystwyth University. I really enjoyed my time at Coleg Ceredigion - there is such a friendly atmosphere and the level of support and guidance from staff was brilliant, they made the lessons very enjoyable. I was also able to ask for help whenever I needed it, the tutors always made an effort to ensure that the work was fully understood.

CEREDIGION.AC.UK

When I ﬁrst became a student at Coleg Ceredigion in 2008, I never expected I’d be going on to University, especially after dropping out of mainstream education. However, I only really made the decision to go to University to study Psychology and Criminology at the beginning of last year, and I doubt that I would’ve been able to be in the position that I am now without the support and guidance of my course tutors.

Alysha Adams Student, Coleg Ceredigion My experience at Coleg Ceredigion has further developed my love of my chosen subjects. My studies have also allowed me to discover new interests and to develop skills which are relevant to life after college. I’ve been able to gain greater conﬁdence and become better equipped with a wide range of skills from analysing to essay writing. Staff have been hugely supportive of my education, the additional support provided by the Learning Centre staff, with their patience and kindness is superb. The support I have been given particularly with my dyslexia has helped me to fulﬁl my potential.

I was able to ﬁnish my A-levels a year earlier than my peers and as a result I’ve been able to take a gap year during which time I plan to ofﬁcially launch and further develop my ethical lifestyle

Abi Giles Student, Aberystwyth University I studied the level 3 Cache diploma in Childcare and Education at Coleg Ceredigion. I thoroughly enjoyed the content of the course and soon realised that a career working with children was deﬁnitely what I wanted to pursue. During the course, I found the child protection aspects of the course particularly interesting and decided that that’s what I would base my further studies around. I completed a private Introduction to Counselling course alongside studying for my diploma, and along with my course tutors’ support, I completed the course. I then searched for possible volunteering opportunities to enable me to get into university, and I was offered training with the youth justice service as an appropriate adult for children and vulnerable

CEREDIGION.AC.UK

adults. 6 months later I was offered a post as a youth justice sessional worker. Whilst at Coleg Ceredigion, I worked on a placement in a playgroup in the Cardigan area and I was asked to try my hand at face painting. I gave it a go and discovered that it was something that came naturally to me. This developed into me starting my own successful face painting business along with the youth justice work. The diploma I gained whilst at Coleg Ceredigion prepared me for a career path which has taken many directions, and which I’m sure will lead me onto many more. This year I was accepted to Aberystwyth University to study BA Law with Criminology.

I was working as a deputy store manager at the time, and the college course was the perfect way for me to be able to pursue my nursing career. The course really prepared me as a mature student for going back to education and for what the university degree would entail. I made new friends and got back in to the routine of education. Yes, I gave up disposable income and a lot of free time but I passed the course with the required marks to be able to apply for the nursing degree. I successfully secured a place in

Hannah Tyson Student, Goldsmiths University Since completing my studies in Media BTEC and A-level photography course at Coleg Ceredigion I have taken the valuable skills I developed and gone on to study Media and Communications in London’s Goldsmiths University where I’m fortunate to be taught by the leading names in media.

while I was there and I was introduced to, and given tuition on, how to use professional editing software and equipment. I worked on a project using archive footage that eventually got presented at the National Library of Wales and I also got the opportunity to show my work at Ffresh ﬁlm festival.

The course at Coleg Ceredigion was great as the tutors always had time for you and were established professionals in their own right with experience of working in the media industries. I was given a great deal of encouragement to try different things and to look at digital photography as well as ﬁlm. I learnt a lot

This has provided me with a foundation to learn new skills such as stop-motion animation and to specialise in film fiction using industry-standard facilities. In the summer I hope to take advantage of living in London by applying for internships with film and television drama companies.
