KA SHOWCASE

There was a positive feel to the event and some very welcome comments made by the employers who attended.  Once again Neil Scales supported the college and made the point about employers getting more involved with educationalists, eloquently and powerfully as usual.  Andrew Walkington was also a guest speaker at our launch.  He emphasised the importance of the New Diploma and the crucial element of employer involvement
Thank you all for supporting this event.

UNDERGRADUATE SUCCESS STORIES
Our second years have now returned from their eight week block placements.
I have received a vast amount of support from employers and a summary of their feedback will be placed on the website.

GUEST SPEAKERS
Steve Jones, Liverpool City Council delivered a PRINCE session to our first year undergraduates.  The session will support our students in their forthcoming project assignment. It also was an invaluable insight into how Liverpool Council have adopted the PRINCE theory and adapted it for practical use.  I am always most grateful for any employer input into our programmes.

POWER IN PARTNERSHIP AWARD
With the support of Jaguar, Merseytravel and Tubedale an award for Power in Partnership was submitted to Business in the Community.  The award was submitted for the collaborative work on the existing and proposed Foundation Degree programmes.

The regional award winners will be announced on the 12th June and an overview of all the finalists will be published in the Financial Times.
