Last month, A Level Law students from Weston College

Weston College proudly announces a remarkable 96.6% pass rate for its T Level students, exceeding the national average by 5.6%. This achievement highlights the college's dedication to providing exceptional technical education and preparing students for successful careers. 

On Tuesday, 2nd April, Weston College took over the Job Centre in Weston-super-Mare, for a day dedicated to supporting adults in their journey towards new training and employment opportunities.

The event was designed to showcase the extensive range of courses and support available to job seekers, helping them gain new skills and qualifications to improve their career prospects.

Recently, we caught up with former Weston College student Dave Trevaskus, about his journey from studying in Weston, to now being the Head of Retail Training at the LEGO Group.

Who are you and what is your job role?

Construction students have been making a real difference in their community by crafting and donating handmade benches to local care homes in Weston-super-Mare.  

Weston College have recently held an inter college competition for the South West Skills Challenge for Hair and Beauty – a competition which has been set up by colleges in the South West to support learners in their preparations for WorldSkills competitions.

Last month, our Sport students embarked on an exciting trip to London for an overnight stay, offering them a fantastic opportunity to experience professional sports up close. 

At Weston College, we pride ourselves on providing apprentices with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to excel in their careers. One of our former apprentices, Asha George, is a perfect example of how an apprenticeship can open doors to new opportunities. Asha completed a Level 2 Junior Estate Agent apprenticeship while working at Cross Keys Estates and has since built a successful career in the property industry. She shares with us her journey and insights into the benefits of apprenticeships. 

Two of our ESOL learners, Romina and Glenn, have been taking part in a weekly Hospitality Course at Loves Cafe. This fantastic initiative, a collaboration between the community and North Somerset Council, aims to support refugees and asylum seekers by equipping them with essential skills to help them gain employment in the hospitality sector.
