Volunteers' Success

Fifteen full-time volunteers, from the vTalent programme, working in a range of placements across Doncaster College, recently graduated at a ceremony in the Waterfront Restaurant at The Hub.

In front of family, friends and colleagues, George Trow, Principal and Chief Executive at the College, handed out certificates. A buffet, prepared and served by Hospitality and Catering students, was provided for guests once the ceremony had taken place.

In addition to these certificates, volunteers have gone on to achieve a number of qualifications including PGCE, Counselling, Level 2 Volunteering and Football Coaching, as well as going onto degree programmes and employment.

Due to the success of the vTalent programme, which was externally funded, the College has embedded a volunteering programme into the mainstream provision at the College.
