“My time at Wilberforce was an important step in shaping both my confidence and my future career.

Thanks to their support, I had my first introduction to law, which sparked my interest and helped me understand what a career in this field could look like. Beyond that, the college helped me explore different career opportunities by arranging work experience and guiding me through university applications. I also developed practical skills like communication, teamwork, and problem-solving that I rely on every day. Honestly, if it wasn’t for Wilberforce, I wouldn’t be where I am today.” 🎯
