Ipswich plumbing apprentice named one of top female plumbers in the country

Our college has a hospitality department. Students operate a restaurant 2-3 days a week. Menus are themed from week to week, and the food they put out is outrageously good. This week’s theme is Scandinavian. I had venison tartare to start (how is this even on the menu?!), roast cod with shrimp, then a buttermilk panna cotta. This is 17-18 yr olds putting out food at a quality that would shame many of the places I’ve eaten at. Is this normal for FE colleges in the UK?! #FurtherEducation #Food

It's my 1 year anniversary at work. I have survived my first year as an educator! Everyone who told me the first year would be tough wasn't wrong! In fact, they downplayed just how tough it is. But I'm still here, and still enjoying it when it's not immensely stressful. #Teaching #FurtherEducation #Apprenticeships #Apprentices

So, I'm finding that teaching sometimes feels like a long uphill trek, with little to no pay-off along the way. Might just be me, might just be what I'm teaching. But I'm someone that *needs* some payoff. Safe to say this is one of my least favourite bits of this job. However, I visited some of my apprentices at work last week, and they've only gone and implemented a concept I taught them about, and it's working and they're happy with it, and their manager is happy with it. Win! #DopaminePlease #Teaching #Apprentices #FurtherEducation

Having anxiety over a terrible job I had 12 years ago because I'm using their release process as a case study on "how not to do things" for my DevOps students >shudder< #DevOps #Teaching #FurtherEducation
