Back to (Greenhead) College for Daniel!
Huddersfield’s Greenhead College has launched a new initiative for the forthcoming academic year – designed to prepare young people for adulthood and ‘life beyond the lecture theatre’.
Once per month, inspiring Yorkshire professionals from a range of backgrounds and professions – including a racing driver, soldier-turned-CEO and life coach – will deliver a series of seminars, set to highlight crucial life skills.
Reflecting the diverse student population – and with something that appeals to all – the monthly talks are intended to further strengthen Greenhead’s commitment to delivering a rounded learning experience, for ages 16 – 18.
Confirmed names include our very own founder & business development director of Access North Structures and Access North Build, Daniel Northcott, Tim Mercer, CEO at Vapour Cloud as well as owner of PiP To Grow Strong, Natasha McCreesh, while other notable speakers include chartered financial advisor, Louise Woollard, Dr Shelley Harrington, a lecturer in organisational behaviour, and founder of Benchmark Marketing, Margaret Hartley, who will present alongside racing driver Max Coates.
Daniel said ‘When Scriba contacted me to ask if I would be involved, I jumped at the opportunity. I’ll be presenting a seminar on project management and being part of a team – it’s a fantastic opportunity to help students develop and understand the skills required when they enter the world of work.’
He added, ‘You never know, some of the students could be part of the Access North team in the not so distant future!’
Subjects covered will include managing finances, setting up a business, presentation skills and project management. As a result, it is here that A1 and A2 students will leave each session feeling inspired, energised and confident about life after college.
