My favourite part of my job is helping people achieve their GCSE English, a key qualification which will open doors for them in the future.
Deb Williams started teaching at Lancaster and Morecambe College in August 2000. She came to LMC to help give excluded Year 11's a second chance and an opportunity at a fresh start in a new vocational environment.
Prior to working at LMC, Deb was a Youth Worker in Carlisle where she ran projects to aid young people at risk of being involved with crime. She than taught English at Preston College.
My favourite part of my job is helping people achieve their GCSE English, a key qualification which will open doors for them in the future. I also really enjoy the fun and interesting conversations I get to have with my learners. In the teacher education side my favourite part is helping trainee teachers gain confidence and knowledge in their new role.
When asked about why she enjoys working at College, Deb said:
I enjoy that I am contributing to the wider community, by supplying them with the knowledge to progress further in their personal and professional lives.
In regards to the teaching course that she delivers, Deb said:
Teaching is a challenging but very rewarding job. It takes a whole career to learn how to do it well – this course will give you a great start on that journey. The teacher training courses give lots of opportunity for interesting discussions and reading about the latest research in how people learn best. They focus on what really works in the classroom or workshop environment.
I enjoy being part of the team and thinking of new ways to support local businesses in realising their potential. Watching learners transition from a one-day course to gaining qualifications motivates me to continue teaching at LMC.
My favourite aspect of my role is seeing learners who struggle to believe in themselves when they first begin their journey at LMC, but eventually realise that they are very capable. It is a lightbulb moment when they realise they can be or do anything they want to. Learners walk through our gates unsure of themselves and sometimes struggle to believe in their abilities, but by the end of their journey they walk out of LMC confident and ready to take on the world.
It’s really difficult to state just one thing I love about working at Lancaster & Morecambe College because there are so many! I really wanted to work here because the college has a fantastic reputation. I love introducing new ways of working and keeping up with relevant trends to improve the course, and I really enjoy the supportive environment that we create for our students.
My favourite part of my role is helping my students take the first step towards fulfilling their ambitions to go to university and, eventually, progressing into their dream careers.
My favourite part of this role is working with such an amazing team here at Lancaster & Morecambe College, and also being able to pass on my industry knowledge to all my students and support them in their journey to becoming a Beauty Therapist.
We have a very knowledgeable and dedicated team from different areas of the animal industry. We offer a range of courses in Animal Studies at different levels to cater for a wide range of students. Practically, you will work with a range of animals on site, spend time in our laboratories and hone your skills further during independent work-related experience. Working with animals can be a fun and rewarding career but it does involve hard graft and dedication!
