Thank you to the team members from TUI, easyJet, and Jet2.com and Jet2holidays for taking the time to inspire our Travel & Tourism students! Recently, students from Eastleigh College and Fareham College came together for the Cabin Crew Careers morning, featuring online meetings with speakers from major airlines about the roles they offer and the recruitment process involved. This encouraged students to consider different careers in Aviation and will help them feel less anxious when applying for roles. What a fantastic event! ✈️ #TravelAndTourism #Aviation #CreatingBetterFutures

🌍 Our Students’ Incredible Experience in Sri Lanka with the Turing Scheme! Our Early Years and Education students have had an unforgettable time exploring, learning, and volunteering in Sri Lanka. As part of their work placements, they’ve been supporting children in local schools. From joining in with assemblies to helping in lessons and playtime, they’ve been inspired by the children’s enthusiasm for learning. Outside of their placements, students have made the most of their time by exploring Sri Lanka’s stunning landscapes and wildlife. They’ve cruised along the Mandu River (and even held a crocodile), visited an elephant orphanage where they fed the elephants, and had the incredible opportunity to release rescued turtles back into the ocean. This journey has been full of adventure, personal growth, and cultural exchange—an experience they’ll never forget. Want to read more about their experiences?
