Business / Personal Improvement
‘It has been a pleasure to work closely with the partnership team at Bournville College, resulting in successful employment of many people in areas of high unemployment.’
Emma L. Grant, Store Manager at Tesco Hodge Hill

‘I had to leave my former job due to a hand injury which made me unemployed for several months. The training delivered by Bournville College was very practical and relevant to our roles. I didn’t think I would stand a chance, especially when my previous job hunting efforts came to nothing. Now I have a job I love.’
Robbie McMorrine, Cold Meat Counter Assistant, Tesco Hodge Hill
