Student Wins Second Young Enterprise Award
A Weston College Sixth Form student has won a second award for his work on a Young Enterprise project.
Ilja Voroncovs was recently awarded the Journey Award in the district finals of a Young Enterprise event, and has now won the second stage of the award at the regional finals.
As part of his previous award, Ilja was given a 1:1 mentoring session with Richard Phillips, Director of Three Cherries Limited, who worked alongside Ilja’s tutor Elinor John to help him produce a film showcasing the positive effect Young Enterprise has had on him.
Ilja was then successful in winning the second Regional Journey Award at a ceremony in Exeter, and is now one of just three people that have been selected nationally as finalists for the National Journey Award.
Ilja’s tutor on the project, Elinor John, Lecturer in Photography and Employability Co-coordinator, said: “We are incredibly proud that Ilja has gone on to win a second regional award!
“The Young Enterprise team and all the staff here at the Sixth Form are so pleased that the progress he has made is being recognised. He has come such a long way and is well deserving of this award.”
Ilja has been invited to attend the national final in London on 6 July.
