Hartlepool College of Further Education and Seymour Civil Engineering celebrate at the AELP Apprenticeship & Training Awards in Liverpool.

Award-Winning Partnership

We’re incredibly proud to be recognised alongside Seymour Civil Engineering as national award winners for our groundbreaking Gateway to Construction programme. Winning the prestigious Best Workplace Readiness Scheme at the AELP Apprenticeship & Training Awards—held at the end of the annual Apprenticeship & Training Conference (ATC) in Liverpool—means a lot to us. This award recognises the real impact we’re making in bridging the construction skills gap and transforming lives through high-quality, industry-focused training.

Art Students bridge old and new

Our talented Art and Design students recently took part in a series of workshops led by artist Graham Vasey at Hartlepool Art Gallery. The workshops focused on eco-friendly and raw photography techniques, allowing students to explore the intersection between traditional and digital methods. The workshops were organised by Angela Thomas, curator at Hartlepool Art Gallery, and were inspired by Vasey's exhibition, ‘Folklore and Mythology,’ on display at the gallery until March 29.

Jack's debuts for England

We are extremely proud of Hartlepool College student Jack Wallace who has recently represented the England Schools FA in the prestigious Centenary Shield. Jack, an 18-year-old Level 3 BTEC Sports Coaching student enrolled in our Hartlepool United Academy Programme, 'Hart of Our Club,' has previously impressed in friendlies for England and we are excited that he has made his first competitive debut.
