Our students recently visited Cibo's for a hands-on workshop, gaining valuable insight into what it takes to work in a commercial kitchen! 🥪

From making subs from the menu and creating their own unique sandwich combinations to helping open the shop for the day, our students got a real taste of working in the food industry.

A huge thank you to the team at Cibo's for welcoming our students! 👏

👷‍♂️ A Fantastic Industry Insight Session from Willmott Dixon 🏗️

Yesterday, we were delighted to welcome Gerard Hughes MCIOB from Willmott Dixon to Bedford College, part of The Bedford College Group, where he delivered an engaging session to our T Level Design, Surveying and Planning students.

Gerard shared the story of Willmott Dixon, highlighted some of their current projects, and gave students a valuable insight into life within the construction industry. Students also enjoyed taking part in an interactive quiz, and learning more about Willmott Dixon's exciting T Level placement programme - which includes shadowing industry professionals, working on a live community project and developing workplace and employability skills.

We are excited to see our Year 1 students take the next step towards these incredible opportunities - thank you again to Gerard and the team at Willmott Dixon for investing in the next generation of talent.
