You beauty! Norma’s new career beckons
One learner making great strides towards a new career is Norma Blore, who is working towards her NVQ Level 2 qualification in beauty while completing a community sentence.
She had already picked up IT-related qualifications at Pendleton College after being found a course by the OLASS team.
The progress represents a positive step for Norma, who had no formal qualifications before being encouraged to undertake her college courses.
Norma, who aims to complete her NVQ Level 2 beauty qualification in May 2008, had worked in retail, hospitality and factories before taking her college course.
She said: "I love the course – it makes me feel like I’m achieving something and I know that once I complete it I will be able to work anywhere!
"It means so much to me to be able to give something back – as I have been helped so much by people before starting this course."
