Keighley & District
Students are rewarded
Teenagers who have studied at Park Lane College Keighley as well as their own schools are to have their hard work recognised.
About 120 students will receive certificates at a ceremony in the college on Monday, May 12.
The students attend Parkside, Oakbank, Holy Family, Greenhead High and Ilkley Grammar schools.
They have spent the past two years studying for qualifications at the college through the Increased Flexibility Project.
They will be awarded gold, silver and bronze standards of achievement.
A Student of the Year will be chosen for each of the eight courses.
The IFP programme, which ends this month, gives 14 to 16-year-olds an insight into potential career paths.
The lessons, including joinery, painting & decorating, hairdressing, brickwork, animal care and beauty therapy, contribute towards vocational qualifications.
Several motor vehicle and fabrication & welding students, who have studied one-year courses, will also collect certificates and achievement awards.
He said: "The qualification provides relevant knowledge and practical skills within the learner's chosen vocational field.
"Within our department our successes have already doubled and several of our students have managed to attain apprenticeship places with local decorators."
The Keighley Dulux Decorator Centre will provide award packs for painting & decorating students at the presentation ceremony.
