Weston College was delighted to welcome back its alumnus, Dave Trevaskus (now Head of Retail Training at the LEGO Group), for a full day of workshops on Thursday 2nd of October. Dave’s visit brought energy, insight, and a genuine sense of connection as he shared lessons from his own journey and encouraged learners and staff to see every challenge as a stepping stone and to encourage a playful mindset.

Last week, our T Level: Design, Surveying and Planning for Construction learners took part in a Speed Interview Day alongside 11 different construction employers. This event provided them with the invaluable opportunity to secure a placement as part of their T Level programme.

Last week, our Music and Production students got the chance to sit in on a live performance from the band, ‘The Peripheries’, and help them record an album within our Michael Eavis Performance suite, which links directly to the HE Recording Studio at Loxton Campus.  

We spoke with Justin Whiting, Advanced Technical Trainer – Skills at the National Composites Centre, about NCC’s current apprenticeship programme and how you can get involved!

Last week, our Animal Management students across all levels came together to meet a range of employers within the industry and learn more about the different career options available to them. 

Many students got involved, engaging with employers to find out more about the placement and work experience opportunities they offer in order to build their skills and broaden their knowledge of different animals.  

Taking place during UK Construction Week, our ‘T Level Day’ for the 2025-2026 term will be held on Wednesday 1st October. This event provides an excellent opportunity for employers to connect with our talented T Level Construction learners, share industry insights, and inspire the next generation of construction professionals. 

Weston College is pleased to announce a new Careers Excellence Hub (CEH) partnership with a creative agency, Noor Creatives. This exciting collaboration will offer students the opportunity to apply their creativity in real-world settings, developing content for live clients, gaining valuable insight into the creative sector, and building skills that align with current digital industries. 

An archipelago of floating islands installed in Bridgwater’s historic tidal basin have sprung to life, with the help of some of our learners who part took in The Prince’s Trust Pathway’s for Young People course.

To celebrate the successful completion of the first year of their two-year T-Level in Design, Surveying and Planning for Construction, a group of Weston College learners recently enjoyed an educational day out in Bristol.

Last month, our Health and Social Care students hosted a student Careers Event where a range of healthcare and social care organisations were invited to Weston College to network with the students, giving the students the chance to present their work from this academic year.
