Love our Colleges
Preston College celebrated Colleges Week through a series of exciting events, initiatives and activities. Focusing on the ‘Love Our Colleges’ campaign, this nationwide campaign aims to showcase the incredible contributions that colleges make to their learners, communities, and the nation as a whole.
Taking place from 9 October – 20 October, this year’s Colleges Week theme was centered around #ShowYourSkills, highlighting the vital roles that colleges play in empowering learners, upskilling workforces, and driving economic and social development. Simon Nixon, Principal and Chief Executive says: “Our college is at the heart of our community, transforming lives through education, inspiring and supporting our learners to reach their potential, whilst also supporting local businesses. “Colleges Week gives us the opportunity to showcase the incredible work that our staff, learners and partners do every day. We’re thrilled to celebrate our collective achievements and highlight the positive impact that we make in Preston and beyond.”
Activities during the week included the College’s annual freshers fair - helping learners connect with local employers and support organisations; community engagement - initiatives such as guest speakers to help strengthen the College’s bonds with the local community; learner success stories – sharing inspirational stories of learner achievements and demonstrating Preston College’s vision to transform lives through education; and, staff appreciation – acknowledging and celebrating the dedication of our teaching and support staff who are integral to the College’s overall success. And during the celebrations, the College was honoured to welcome MP Sir Mark Henrick who visited the College to continue his long- standing interest and passion for Education.
