Reaseheath College and University Centre has marked achievements of more than 1,000 FE students during three days of awards ceremonies.
The events at the college’s Nantwich campus recognised academic excellence, personal growth, and outstanding contributions to college life.
More than 1,200 students, their families, friends, staff, and industry partners attended the ceremonies.
Each was made special by keynote speeches from former students who have gone on to forge successful careers in their chosen industries.
These included former dairy student Steph Nish, who now works as a Health and Safety Advisor at Flotation Energy, supporting the development of offshore windfarms, and former sports student Emma Pemberton, who is now a Trainee Bridge Inspector with Up and Under, working on major infrastructure projects across the UK.
Another was Peter Watson, who studied Animal Management, who is now an Animal Technical Support Officer at Chester Zoo.
Reaseheath Principal and CEO Marcus Clinton said: “These awards are a testament to the dedication, resilience and talent of our students.
“It’s incredibly rewarding to see them thrive and to celebrate their success alongside our staff, families and industry partners.
“We’re proud to help shape the next generation of skilled professionals across land-based and technical industries.”
The celebrations also recognised students who completed Career Ready Passport, and 67 students whose written work was published in the national Young Writers’ Competition anthology, titled Fight or Flight.
