Rachel Cronin

Rachel tells us why she decided to return to education and study an Access course at College.

"I had reservations about returning to education; however the lecturers at Middlesbrough College were brilliant and really put my mind at east. I was at a point in my life when the kids were getting older and I wanted a new challenge in life. I wanted a route into a career rather than getting a job that just payed the bills. The course has been flexible and fits around my family commitments.

"I feel more than confident to progress to university and start a career in the big world. I’m closer to getting my dream job and I just wish I had done it sooner!"
