Supported Internship student Aaron Caracciolo has proven himself to overcome any challenge thrown in his direction in a positive and mature manner. Aaron was unable to speak until his mid-teens and has made such incredible progress at College that he has joined a Local Authority panel promoting the rights of individuals with disability needs; he has achieved this with confidence. Aaron has enlightened other professionals as to the needs of those with mobility issues in the creation of a new transport system that is due to be developed at London Luton Airport. Aaron is a volunteer at the Disability Resource Centre and has shown this year this he is able to travel independently, communicate effectively and work professionally. Aaron is a true role model for anybody who struggles daily with independence due to health and learning differences. To see the confidence and maturity that has developed in Aaron has been an encouragement to both students and staff and the College is delighted to have presented him with the Best Achievement award for Supported Internships.
In addition to the student awards for each subject area, this year Principal Ali Hadawi CBE presented a Student of the Year Award to Engineering student Bita Parto. Bita has been an outstanding student, achieving consistently high grades, whilst overcoming several personal challenges. She has been accepted to Anglia Ruskin University on a four-year degree, which will see her achieving a Masters in Engineering upon completion. The Principal gave a speech honouring Bita’s achievement: “Bita took responsibility for her own learning and made excellent use of all the support services available at CBC… We are very proud as a College, of her incredible achievement.”
Attendees to the Student Awards Ceremony were delighted to hear from former Central Bedfordshire College Barbering student, Justin Carr. Justin has risen to the top of his field, and is now the barber to many members of the football team representing England at the 2018 World Cup. He very kindly sent students a video message of encouragement before he jetted off to Russia for the tournament, reminding them, “Carry on being passionate and keep going… The world is your oyster!” He congratulated the students and encouraged them to pursue their dreams.
Principal Ali Hadawi CBE, who opened the event with a keynote speech, praised the achievements of the students, and highlighted the College’s successes and developments over the past year, including the opening of the new state-of-the-art Leighton Buzzard Engineering and Construction Skills Centre. He acknowledged the dedication of Central Bedfordshire College staff to providing support for all students to achieve their goals, and affirmed the College’s commitment to supporting local area needs. The Mayor of Dunstable, Councillor John Kane, kindly gave a short address congratulating the students on their achievement.
The event was held in the College’s student-run restaurant where parents and dignitaries were treated to a full afternoon tea prepared and served by the College’s Hospitality & Catering students.
