Both events (14-16 Awards on Wednesday and 16+ Awards on Thursday) went incredibly well and we were delighted with the response from students, employers, partners and stakeholders.

It’s aim was to help the people of Cleadon Park find out more about job opportunities, training and building a career.
Craig proved popular signing hundreds of posters for people and talking to them about his own life. On the day he took a real interest in the regeneration plans for Cleadon Park and talked to people about the changes taking place in the future and encouraged them to ‘go for it’ and realise their potential."
