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 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!Ciara Barnett (Media)
