Labour Party leader talks the future of health and social care with our students

It was a pleasure for us to host the visit of Sir Keir Starmer and to give our health and care students the opportunity to question the Labour Party leader about his vision for the future of health and social care in this country. During a question and answer session, students asked the Labour Party leader questions on a range of topics including mental health, emergency care, pay and conditions and training.

Sir Keir told the students how important they were to the future of the NHS and healthcare.

He said: “You are very much part of our plans to get the NHS fit for the future. We need more staff within the NHS so we plan to double the number of training places available and help create the biggest expansion of the NHS workforce in its history.

It’s great to be able to see that next generation of health and social care workers coming through at Middlesbrough College –what you are doing is really inspiring.”

Congratulations to Level 3 travel & tourism student

Harley said: “I’m so excited for September! I’ve absolutely loved my time at Middlesbrough

It was fantastic to host the Middlesbrough mayoral hustings at the College this May. The mayoral candidates set out their visions and did a Q&A session, which was an insightful and informative experience for our students.

College, and I can’t thank the travel team and the careers team for all their advice and guidance. My tutors supported me throughout the application process and helped me to prepare for my interviews and assessment days. I was over the moon when I was offered the role and I owe a lot to Middlesbrough College for supporting me through the process. ”

I’m hoping to continue progressing in my career and one day become a captain.”
