Karen’s talk was inspiring and motivational for present students and extremely relevant as they start to think about their career prospects and progression routes after they complete their course.
Karen McLeod Course coordinator Travel and Tourism was delighted to hear Karen share her wealth of experience and says “ Karen’s talk was very engaging and allowed students to learn about the wonderful opportunities Level 3 course at Northern Regional College offers students in the real working world”. Karen spoke so very highly of her studies at Northern Regional College and the industry commended airline/ airport qualifications she completed in addition to her core Level 3 course as well as the relevancy of the units she studied, work experiences opportunities in both years of the course and fun activities and trips she participated in. She told the current year 1 and year 2 students how wonderful the Level 3 course was in preparing her for both her Higher level studies and also for employment in the retail travel sector and the airline/airport sector.” Karen achieved excellent grades, was awarded “Star Student” and she progressed to the Ulster University before pursuing her career.
