Public Services Success Stories

Jessica Charlton, Level 3 Uniformed Protective Services
I had the opportunity to become Lord Lieutenant through the Cadets. I’m so proud of this achievement and thankful to my tutors who gave me the confidence to go for this opportunity.
Sophie Dmytrowich, Public Services
We get the opportunity to take part in a lot of outdoor activities such as Rock Climbing and Canoeing which is fun! I love that we are not 100% based in a classroom and that we have that chance to get out and do something practical.
