My time at NWRC gave me the confidence to open my own Beauty Salon. Now I'm a part-time lecturer for the College.Vanessa Canning (Hair & Beauty) -
An apprenticeship is a great route for your career as you are learning a new skill but also getting the experience while getting paid. I chose NWRC because I’ve always heard good reports about it. I applied for welding as I always had an interest in engineering as I had done it in school.Chloe RankinEngineering (Fabrication and Welding) (Level 3 Apprenticeship)
