Theworkspace is a place for you, where you can improve your chances of gaining employment, an Apprenticeship or a higher education place. In theworkspace you can develop your skills and abilities in communications, the ability to work as part of a team, self-confidence and self-worth. You can also go there to develop your CV writing and job hunting skills, and interview techniques. In February, Lee McQueen - winner of BBC TV’s The Apprentice - visited the College to deliver a talk about his extraordinary route into business. He also shared some of the secrets of his success with students. His visit kick-started National
Apprenticeship Week at the College and was inspirational to students. Why is theworkspace important? Well, it’s a chance for you to make sure that you stand head-and-shoulders above the rest of the competitive employment and higher education markets. If you would like to gain that competitive edge, enhance your skills and increase your employability, come and meet the team in theworkspace at Kings Road, or call us on 01752 856825. Further information about theworkspace can be found by visiting the student intranet or you can e-mail us at theworkspace@cityplym.ac.uk. Theworkspace Inspires You! 7
