We are one of the few colleges in the country with a specific strategy around competitions and we actively promote the competitive spirit. We think competition work is very important as it encourages you to demonstrate your skills, to strive for excellence and to achieve your best.
All our students are encouraged to develop their skills through participating in competitions, including at national and international levels. Competitions are an excellent way of enabling students to practice real-world employability skills including performing under pressure, delivering to tight deadlines and being judged by employers against industry standards. Taking part in live activities inspires young people to get enthusiastic about their future career options.
In 2023, NWSLC students triumphed at the WorldSkills UK finals, winning 12 medals overall (5 gold medals, 1 silver medal and 6 bronze medals). This put the college at the top of the table for foundation skills in the UK. Read the whole story by visiting the section below.
