Lambeth College award
Congratulations to Lambeth College on winning a prestigious Association of Colleges Beacon Award. Minister of State for Further Education Kevin Brennan MP presented Curriculum Manager Rachael Brown, Chair of Governors Dame Lorna Boreland-Kelly and student Natalie Harris with the award at Westminster recently.
The College received the RNIB and Mencap Award for Students with Learning Difficulties and/or Disabilities for its hard work in placing these students in employment. Through workplace and personal skills training, practice work environments and partnerships with employment agencies the College has prepared its students well for the challenges that lie beyond their education.
Chuka Umunna, who attended the opening of the College’s new buildings last year, said:
“It is fantastic that Lambeth College’s work in the local community has been recognised nationally. It is important to equip our young people as best as we can for the challenges that they will face in the job market.
“With its recent expansion and continued development of new teaching methods, Lambeth College can certainly not be accused of resting on its laurels. It is an innovative and growing education centre which is an asset to local residents.”
