Amanda Woollard BA (Hons) Contemporary Surface Design and Textiles

Amanda was working as a kitchen designer in Ikea when she made the bold decision to return to education in her 40s. It proved a great decision as she graduated with First Class Honours and was selected as the Embroiderers’ Guild Scholar for 2016 in the over 30s category. Amanda has been featured in Embroidery magazine and has exhibited her work with the Embroiderers’ Guild at major events in London, Dublin and Harrogate. She also exhibited her work with the Society of Designer Craftsmen at the Mall Galleries and works as a freelance textile artist taking commissions, giving talks and running workshops. Amanda said, “Making the decision to go back into education has been an amazing experience and impacted my career path greatly. The course allowed me to be experimental with textiles and I was able to work with new machinery including laser cutters, looms, knitting machines and embellishers. The print studio allowed my confidence to grow and enabled me to express my creativity; the academic side allowed me to research subjects and read. I really enjoyed using the library and the archives in Bradford College University Centre.” 56 •• Bradford School of Art

Suman, who graduated with a First Class BA (Hons) Film degree in 2016, looks set for a big screen future having already had a documentary screened at an international film festival. Her documentary called Plates was shown at the Busan International Film Festival in South Korea, having earlier been shown in Bradford. The film, which Suman directed and produced, considers the increasing problem of food poverty in the UK and the juxtaposition of growing levels of food waste. “I believe that the subject of the film affects every single human in the world in some way or another,” explained Suman. “The documentary film is a small attempt to get people thinking about how they can deal with food in a much better way and help those who are less fortunate. Her work won praise from David Wilson, Director of Bradford UNESCO City of Film, who said: “I was very impressed with the quality of the film, especially in the edit which is often very difficult to get right at this stage in one’s film career.” Suman, who undertook work experience with Channel 4 and Mentorn Media whilst a student is now planning a feature film set in Bradford. She said: “My focus will be to work on an independent British Asian feature film. It is a family entertainment film which will be made in Bradford for the people of Bradford.” Suman praised Bradford College University Centre for helping her find her dream career saying, “I feel that the College gave me the confidence I needed to find a suitable career option. My tutors have been very supportive and helpful. I always felt motivated and inspired by them and I cannot thank them enough for the care they have shown for my studies.” 62 •• The Northern School of Creative Industries

Paul Garside Computing Tutor

Paul Garside started his life at Bradford College as a student but has since progressed to his current role as a full-time course tutor. He scooped a number of high profile awards during his time as a student at the College. As the winner of the Bradford College Computing prize for Academic Achievement and the Leeds Metropolitan University Computing prize for the Best Overall Contribution to Higher Education Computing, dedicated Paul is no stranger to success. He worked in the printing industry for 14 years, but gave up work to care for his disabled son. Paul explained: “When I finished caring I wanted to go back to work, but the printing industry was a dying trade, so I retrained in Computing.” Paul’s plans to become a Higher Education tutor were realised and he is now working at the College inspiring other Computing students. Bradford College University Centre provided Paul with the opportunity to retrain, having worked in a defunct industry to a role within the thriving world of computing. The Leeds City Region Labour Market Analysis 2016/2017 reiterates that the proportion of total qualifiers from HE Computing is small relative to the proportion of job openings in the region, creating a wealth of opportunities for recent Computing graduates. Paul said, “I’ve been enthused so much that I want to pass on my knowledge and open up opportunities for other people like they’ve been opened for me.” Our Undergraduate degrees, Postgraduate and Masters awards are validated by the University of Bolton. HNC/HNDs are awarded by Pearson.

EDUCATION ENTERPRISE EMPLOYMENT Julie Ward Managing and Teaching Responsibility (MTR) Language Lecturer and Link Tutor

Julie has been a lecturer at Bradford College University Centre for just over two years having worked for twenty years as a primary teacher in local schools. Julie trained as a Key Stage 2 specialist at Bradford College in 1994 and her first job was in a middle school, teaching Year 6 and drama. Later in her career, she made the move to Early Years and became an Early Years Manager and subsequently, Phase 1 Leader (spanning Early Years and Key Stage 1). Her job at Bradford College University Centre has two main parts: lecturing on Education and Teacher Training courses, and link tutoring - supporting students on teaching practice in schools. Julie commented: “I find it helps to be organised and approachable, as I get to know my students quite well and they need to feel they can trust me to support them. The best part of my job is watching sometimes nervous and uncertain students flourish and develop into confident and capable academics and professionals. I love attending graduation ceremonies and watching hard-work pay dividends. The most challenging aspect of my role is fitting everything in. When I’m not working I love singing with a local group and I am a keen archer.

EDUCATION ENTERPRISE Naomi Bernard EMPLOYMENT BSc (Hons) Sport and Physical Activity

Naomi Bernard left school with no qualifications and was a single parent relying on benefits when she decided to return to education at Bradford College University Centre. Now she runs her own business, called Active Early UK, which provides sports coaching to children, yet her remarkable life-change came almost by accident. The sports-mad mum was searching the internet for a women’s football team she could join when she landed on the Bradford College University Centre website. The sports courses soon caught her eye and she decided to sign up for an OCR National Diploma in Sport. Enjoying her return to education, she decided to stay on and progressed to the Foundation Degree in Sport Coaching and graduated with a 2:1 BSc (Hons) in Sport and Physical Activity. After securing employment with various sports coaching companies and working in more than 50 schools, she decided to launch Active Early UK. Naomi said, “I would not be in the position I am in now if I had not attended Bradford College University Centre. I had no qualifications other than a community sports leader award which I had completed a couple of months before I enrolled and had been unemployed for around seven years. “My overall experience of Bradford College University Centre was amazing. I was there for five years and did not want to leave. I am hoping to return to study for a Masters degree, which would never have been possible if it was not for the support and guidance I received from the sports staff. They have inspired me and helped me to become more confident in my own abilities. Most importantly they have ensured that I have a career in something I love and a bright future.” 184 •• SupportWelcome for Students www.bradfordcollege.ac.uk/uc •• 185
