It was great to see Colchester Institute featured on BBC Politics East last week! 🎥

A big thank you to Ross Brady, Area Head of Mechanical and Electrical Services, and our Plumbing Apprentices for getting involved and sharing their experiences. It was a brilliant opportunity to showcase the difference Apprenticeships make and the fantastic work happening across the College.

Thank you to the BBC team for helping tell these stories and highlighting the opportunities available through further education.
