Name: Georgia Former School: Ian Ramsey CE Academy Creative Arts & Media at The Skills Academy
Former Skills Academy student Georgia is looking to the future after progressing from the Level 1 Creative Arts and Media to nearing completion of the Level 3 Diploma in Art & Design. Georgia credits The Skills Academy for getting her back into education. Having been out of school for several years due to anxiety, the 20-year-old was recommended by Youth Directions to take a look at what they have to offer. She said: “I definitely wouldn’t be where I am today without The Skills Academy. They helped make the transition back into education so easy and stress free. I never would have thought a couple of years ago that I would be where I am now.” Now considering her options after completing her course with Stockton Riverside College, Georgia certainly has a bright future ahead of her.
