Chamber’s Education, Employment & Skills Forum Chair congratulates region’s students

Written by

Nadine Hudspeth, Chair of the Chamber’s Education, Employment & Skills Forum and Director of Marketing and Communications, Estates and Health and Safety, Corporation Administration at Gateshead College:

“As thousands of students across the region collect their AS and A Level and vocational technical results today we want to congratulate them and wish them well for the future. Seeing what our young people have achieved, despite the challenges they’ve had to overcome, is reassuring for their future and ours. They’ve shown a resilience and strength of character that will serve them well as they move into higher education, apprenticeships or jobs and become future employees or business owners.

It’s also really important to remember that, for those not getting the results they’d hoped for, it’s really not the end of the world. This is one step on your journey and if it takes you in a different direction, that’s fine – speak to you school or college about the options open to you, they are there to help.”

Niamh Corcoran, policy adviser, North East England Chamber of Commerce said: “A huge congratulations to everyone collecting their results today, after what has been a tremendously difficult year. The resilience and hard work of students in times of tough challenges is remarkable. 

Many students will now look towards higher education, further education, apprenticeships or other vocational options. While others will be keen to enter the workplace and begin their careers. Whatever option they choose, students should remember that there are a variety of paths which will lead them to success. Our members are working with schools and colleges to help ensure they understand the large range of careers available to them and the variety of technical and vocational, as well as academic routes available which can help them get there. 

It is excellent to see so many students in the North East achieving outstanding results. It is vital for future business success that employers have access to the highly skilled workforce they need to grow.
