WILBERFORCE ALUMNI – Elisei Tomache’s Journey
During their time at Wilberforce College, Elisei enjoyed the supportive college environment, engaging lessons and the encouragement provided by staff throughout their studies.
“I have enjoyed every little part of Wilberforce College, from the captivating and interesting classes to the college environment and the amazing staff they have. My time at Wilberforce College was an amazing experience, full of great memories. One thing that has stayed with me since leaving is the kindness and willingness of the staff, who were always ready to help every student reach their highest potential.”
After leaving Wilberforce, Elisei began an apprenticeship as an electrician with GW Power-Safe, pursuing a career that allows them to work in a hands-on environment.
“After I received my results, I was unsure of what I was going to do next. But I always knew what I wanted and loved to do. I wanted to be hands on, and I am now doing something I really enjoy.”
Looking ahead, Elisei plans to complete their apprenticeship and become a fully qualified electrician. They also hope to continue developing their skills through additional courses that will broaden their knowledge and support their long-term career progression.

THE SCIENCE OF GLOBAL HEALTH
Our students got hands-on insight into how national and global organisations control infectious diseases with Dr Cheryl Walter from University of Hull. The lecture linked directly to their recent unit, bringing science to life beyond the classroom.
One student, Harlee, said: "It was very interesting as the whole talk was focused on the assignment work and helped me understand it more. I feel like Dr Walter kept things lively and interesting to keep us engaged while giving facts like Hepatitis A is only 25% lethal and most people have a good recovery. I really found it helpful towards my assignment."

• Use diagrams and mind maps to support your learning
