😎 Today is New Student Welcome Day here at Trafford College, at both Altrincham and Stretford campuses!

Are you here with us? Tag us in with your sunglasses! 😎

🏆Congratulations to Lucy Seddon for winning Hairdressing Student of the Year - Trafford College, Altrincham campus!

Lucy's tutor, Lorraine is looking super proud here as she presents Lucy with her award 🤩

🤩We recently had the honour of hosting and competing in the WorldSkills UK culinary and restaurant service competitions in our Aspire Restaurant!

All competitors displayed amazing skills - Well done to everyone who took part and best of luck! 🤞

Here are just some of the amazing things our team have to say about Eddie...
"Eddie has been an exemplary student throughout his Level 3 Apprenticeship in Information and Communications Technology with Essity. His dedication to his studies and ICT is truly commendable. Eddie has consistently demonstrated a strong work ethic, quickly grasping complex concepts and applying them effectively. Beyond the classroom, Eddie has actively participated in various extracurricular activities and competitions, including winning a silver medal in the national WorldSkills competitions, contributing significantly to elevating the reputation of Trafford College".

📣We know you will go on to achieve amazing success in your career, Eddie, and we can't wait to hear all about it! 🤩

This is what his tutor said..."George has excelled in all aspects of college life this year, both in the kitchen and front of house. Most noticeably, George has overcome his anxiety to become an outstanding hospitality student. He has an amazing eye for detail, is a natural leader, offering a calming presence to other less able students in the restaurant, and has really developed his customer service skills.

He also overcame nerves to compete in the GM Skills college competition for restaurant service, coming 2nd overall, which is an excellent achievement. After building his confidence, he has now entered WorldSkills for restaurant service and has got through to the next round, where I have no doubt that with his enthusiasm and dedication, he will do very well".

GO GEORGE! 👏

🏆Congratulations to all of our Trafford College Student of the Year winners!

We will be sharing photos and updates very soon. If you were unable to attend the event and have won an award, we'll be in touch with your tutor and you will be able to collect it.

We hope you all have a fantastic summer and look forward to seeing you all in September! 😎
