Amy Dowling is completing a Business Administration Apprenticeship and is the Student Voice Coordinator at the College.
Amy was one of a group of apprentices nationally who spoke to members of the UK Parliament Education Select Committee. To watch the discussion, please click here.
She said: “The opportunity to take part in the Education Select Committee was incredible. Giving apprentices and young people the space at the table to speak of first hand experiences is key to ensuring positive change can happen.”

She added: “I'm really proud to have been able to represent both the College and apprentices from across the country talking about some of the challenges we have faced during lockdown and presenting ideas for moving forward.”
