is celebrated on 23rd
June when Vocational
Qualifications are celebrated
all over the country.
It is important to celebrate
the success of our vocational
students at this time
of year. This event allows
us to give our students
the recognition they
deserve. York College
offers over eighty full-time
vocational courses at
four different levels
and these qualifications
can change lives and
take people on to the
next stage in their careers.
The college has a large
number of highly skilled
staff and students working
in a wide variety of
vocational areas. We
have around 650 vocational
learners progressing
to university each year
and even more into employment.
I am delighted that we
can celebrate vocational
success and achievement
in this way."
