Employability

Jordan had always loved playing sport, so when the opportunity came to study at BishopBurtonandbepartoftheCollegesRugbyLeagueAcademyprogramme,hejumped at the chance.

Combining academic studies with an elite training programme, the programme offered Jordan the chance to pursue his professional sporting dream whilst studying a vocational course, should his sports career not take off.

Jordan worked hard both on and off the pitch, taking full advantage of the access he had to state-of-the-art facilities and respected coaches, trainers and lecturers, and his dream became reality when he signed a professional contract with Super Leagueteam,HullFC.Alifelongdreamrealised through hard work, ambition and determination.

While studying garden design at Bishop Burton,PippawasgiventhechancetoenteragardenintotheHarrogateFlowerShowthe premier horticultural show in the north. Working alongside construction students fromtheCollege,Pippateamedupwithalocal charity to develop the garden.

The garden, designed for those living with dementia, aimed to create a safe environment for its users by reminding them of familiar smells using scented flowers and by incorporating pathways that brought them back to the start.

The garden impressed the judges so much that it secured one of just three gold awards at the show.

Praisedforitsconsiderationofitsendusers,and the quality of the building work, the garden became the highlight of the show, and following its win, it was donated to the charitythathelpedPippacomeupwiththeaward-winningdesign.AndforPippa,thesuccess secured a future with Hobson and Porteralocalbuildingfirmwhichnowhasits own landscape designer.

Employability is the name of the game at Bishop Burton College and all our courses are specifically designed to make students an attractive prospect to employers. This includes developing CVs and interview techniques, along with other personal development skills.

We also have outstanding industry links in all subject areas. Our courses include guest speakers, off-site study visits and work experience placements to help students develop the practical skills needed in the workplace. This routinely leads to students securing part-time jobs to complement their degree work and full-time positions on completion of their studies.

Since graduating from the BSc Applied Animal Behaviour and Training course in 2008, Michael has travelled extensively working as a professional animal trainer in a variety of zoos and marine parks around the world.

He always knew the direction he was heading in with his career but without the necessary academic qualifications and practical experience attained from Bishop Burton, achieving his goals would

have been next to impossible in such a competitive field.

His latest adventure has taken him as far as the Middle East, where he has had the opportunity to implement and co-manage a new animal encounter programme. Working with a team of professionals, he has successfully introduced a colony of KingandGentoopenguinsintotheU.A.E,helping to improve animal awareness across the region.
