Success for NWRC at OCN Learning Endeavour Awards 2025 at Titanic Belfast

26 June 2025
OCN Award Anna Mc Gonigle

Well done to our students and staff who received awards at the OCN Learning Endeavour Awards 2025 at Titanic Belfast

The annual awards, now in their 7th year, were hosted by Denise Watson and aim to celebrate the achievements of learners who have gone to exceptional lengths to achieve their learning goals. This year’s special guest was Matthew Bell, the former Ireland international hockey player who shared his remarkable story after being given a day to live by medics back in 2019 when they discovered he had a brain tumour.
The learners and providers recognised at the OCN Learning Endeavour Awards are a powerful reminder of the profound impact that education can have on individuals and communities. Economy Minister Dr Caoimhe Archibald gave the opening speech at the awards ceremony.
