Welcome to HC Highlights, our roundup of all the latest news from Harrogate College. 

Uniformed Protective Services (UPS) group RAF Leeming trip 

Our Uniformed Protective Services students have enjoyed an action-packed trip to RAF Leeming.

Twenty eight learners, plus tutors Aidan Harding and Andy Reah, took part in the field trip. They were treated to a presentation by the counter-drone unit and demonstrations in thermal imaging and drone technology from the 90 Signalers.

Organised by the base’s Media, Communications & Engagement Officer, Zoe Davis, the day also included a fascinating visit to the mountain rescue unit.

We are grateful to RAF Leeming and Zoe for making this experience both memorable and inspirational for our students.

Business learners visiting Burberry Leeds

Our Business students have enjoyed meeting some senior industry leaders in Leeds.

The Level 3 learners got the opportunity by attending an UNLOC Changemakers networking event at the Burberry offices in the city. 

Our students had a fantastic time and reported feeling much more confident about speaking to new people afterwards.

Art & Design guest speaker 

Our Level 3 Creative Practice students recently welcomed Ian and James from Harrogate-based graphic design agency Skinny Design.

The session was an invaluable learning experience, providing insights from a real industry expert. We are grateful to Mark and Cloud Nine for their time and expertise.

Creative Media collaborate with RE: Workshop

Our Year 1 Creative Media students have embarked on an exciting collaboration with RE: Workshop.

Acting as remote brand consultants for the workshop, which helps students create sustainable products, the learners began by auditing its social media and online content,

They then took their cameras to RE: Worshop’s base on Mabgate Campus, Leeds to capture fresh content for Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn along with photographs for the online shop and website. 

The students will begin editing their content, which will start appearing on RE: Workshop’s social media platforms, in the coming weeks.
