Wiltshire College has announced the finalists for its first Adult Learner of the Year Awards.
Timed to coincide with Adult Learners Week, these new awards for Wiltshire’s Adult Learners recognise and celebrate their inspirational success. Award finalists have stories that are outstanding, remarkable and inspirational.
Their story will motivate others to consider learning. They illustrate how learning as an adult can transform lives and achieve beyond their expectations.
