    I’m the only female in the class but I didn’t let this stop me from pursuing something out of my comfort zone. Tiling is a very creative trade so I curbed my hesitations by leaning on my background in Fine Art. This has helped me see things in a way others may not.
    Rebecca Gavigan (Wall & Floor Tiling)

    I've won 11 awards at independent film festivals, including Best Director and Best Short Film. The support I received at NWRC gave me the confidence to pursue my passion.

    I got a lot of support at NWRC. I enjoy college life more than school because it offers greater freedom and you are treated like an adult.

    I played the part of Jesus in the college’s 2024 production of Superstar Live. The audition was intense, but I had a feeling I got the part as I had the right physical look. It was such a brilliant experience performing in front of a live audience!

    I got to travel to Italy to take part in the Combiguru Challenge as part of my course. I study one day a week while also working as a chef in the Causeway Hospital. I'm excited to start Level 3 next year!

    I wanted better job opportunities and the Access course gave me the pathway towards the career I’ve always dreamed of. It was quite daunting returning to college but I found all the staff at Strabane campus really helpful and friendly. They made the experience so enjoyable.
    Elaine Mythen (Health & Welfare)
  • female graduate smiling
    Red Quote marks
    I was given so many opportunities, such as producing the college’s first ever official podcast, Talk NWRC. After graduation I got my first job as a Marketing Assistant with a local PR agency!

    Red Quote marks
    We represented Ireland at the 2024 Summer Paralympic Games, and one of our proudest moments was when we received a guard of honour from NWRC staff and students when we returned to the College to host a Q&A masterclass on Sport Psychology.
    Chloe and Judith MacCombe (Sport)
