BUSINESS, ECONOMICS & MATHS ALUMNI – Luke’s Journey

After studying Business, Economics and Maths at Wilberforce, Luke is now a Trainee Accountant at Smailes Goldie, building his professional career through an apprenticeship pathway.

“I really enjoyed my time at Wilberforce, from the college trip to Disneyland to all the amazing teachers. It really helped me move onto my professional career. I first realised I wanted to be an accountant at the Wilberforce careers fair where Smailes Goldie had a stand, and fortunately I got the job after achieving my results. Since leaving Wilberforce, I have achieved my first accounting qualification and started my Level 4. I have also returned with Smailes to talk to current Wilberforce students about what the company and profession have to offer. Overall, I had a great time at Wilberforce. I found it both enjoyable and challenging. It’s a place where I made everlasting friends and great memories.”

Now, Luke is working towards becoming fully AAT (Association of Taxation Technicians) qualified and building the career he always wanted.

At Wilberforce, you’ll gain confidence, real-world experience and clear routes into apprenticeships, university and future careers.

POV: YOU’RE A WILBERFORCE DIGITAL STUDENT

At Wilberforce, as a digital student you will get hands-on experience with the technology shaping tomorrow not only using the College`s facilities, but also by visiting partner employers.

Recently a group of our digital students took a trip to @sewellgroup. Students used CAD software to design plumbing routes before testing their designs in practical workshops. They also explored real building plans from some of Sewell`s recent projects through augmented reality, equipping them with real-world industry skills.

PUBLIC HEALTH 🏥

Imagine learning beyond the classroom. Our second year BTEC Diploma students recently did just that by taking a trip to Leeds to visit the prestigious Thackray Museum of Medicine. 💊

The group explored the history of immunisation and development of public health in the UK, understanding how vaccination programmes and public health systems have evolved over time.

This experience provided an insight into how important medical innovation are and the impact it has in protecting our communities today.

ENGLISH AND CREATIVE ARTS ALUMNI – Isobel’s Journey 📚🎨

After achieving a B in A Level English Language & Literature, B in A Level Fine Art and A in A Level Media Studies at Wilberforce, Isobel is now in their final year of Journalism Studies at the University of Sheffield, gaining hands-on experience with major media organisations including Sky News, Hits Radio, and receiving press passes for festivals and live events.

“My time at Wilberforce was an important step in shaping both my independence and my future career. I loved my time at the college as it let me gain independent skills whilst still having the structure of education. I basically lived in the old art block and loved the atmosphere of the college. It prepared me well for university and I wouldn’t be where I am now without my experiences at Wilberforce. Wilberforce is what opened my eyes to the possibility of journalism and I’ve loved every second since.”

Since leaving Wilberforce, Isobel secured their first-choice university place and was awarded a scholarship which supported their journey into higher education.

Now, they’re working towards a first-class degree and aiming to begin a career in journalism, with dreams of becoming a writer for major music publications such as Rolling Stone or NME.
