Student Stories

Lily Ballinger

I’ve learnt so many transferable skills. I’ve got a lot more knowledge now, with how to do things in any job. Things like customer service, how to treat customers, time management. The student mentors, teachers and everyone at college has been so supportive. I loved it! It is one course, but it’s got so many different possibilities and you learn so many skills that you can go and work anywhere afterwards.

Bobby Barnard

It’s all been fun, and you do the work in different methods – we've made events, and created videos and blogs for assessments, so we learnt how to make and produce a story. We did a whole unit on applying for jobs. It’s helped me prepare for interviews and understanding what employers want, because now I can showcase these skills. I’ve got an apprenticeship with TUI as a retail assistant. I’m hoping to work up towards management level or move onto a specialist travel agent and work up from there."

“I’ve always been interested in travel and my dream career is to work as cabin crew or on a cruise ship. My course has helped me work towards this by teaching me about the different jobs that are involved in the travel industry. “My favorite thing about studying at GC is the flexibility that we have to come and go between lectures, as well as getting to choose an excursion to visit in our final year.”

I always had a passion for travelling when I was younger, so I thought that this would be the perfect course to study. I wanted to learn more about the industry I love - my dream career is to work for a large travel company such as Virgin Atlantic. “The best thing about my time at GC has been getting the chance to volunteer with the Atlantic Whale Foundation (AWF) for 16 days. This really helped with my communication skills and confidence. I’m now fundraising to go to Sri Lanka with the AWF to help local communities.”
