Greg's Afternoon With Nick Clegg

Info Updated January 2012

Current Bexhill College student, Greg Thompson, was invited to represent Career Academies UK at a Social Mobility Business Compact hosted by Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, at Admiralty House in London.

Career Academies UK leads and supports a movement of over 1000 employers and over 120 schools and colleges, working together to raise the aspirations of 16 to 19-year-olds. Independently recognised for brilliant business and education brokerage, they are the first national organisation to receive the Award for Education Business Excellence.

Greg commented:

‘The event in London was a fantastic experience; I got to meet Chief Executives and Senior Directors from some of the biggest companies in the UK. Bexhill College signed me up to Career Academies UK, which is a two year programme; the main part is undertaking a six week summer internship which I was fortunate enough to carry out at London’s Canary Wharf. This programme has developed me so much both as a person and of course educating me in the world of work. I’d like to thank Bexhill College and Career Academies UK for this opportunity’
