Kingsley Walker - BTEC IT Practitioners Level 3
I came to Lewisham College because it offered me a
great course that suited me, and it was a path I wanted to
follow.
Through doing IT at Lewisham College, I got the opportunity to
become part of the College's Career Academy. When I heard about it
I thought wow, what a great opportunity, I'd love to get
involved.
I have a mentor from City Group banks and he's advised me about
what courses at university to do. I also did a paid internship over
the summer with a law firm in London. Personally, I would have done
it for free.
Being part of the Career Academy has made me more determined. I
know I want to be at university now. It's driven me to be more
successful. I'm now more confident and I've learned a lot.
This September I'll be going to university to study Business
Information Systems. I'd say to potential Career Academy students,
do not miss a chance like this. It's a great opportunity.
The journey from starting College to where I am now has been
exciting. I don't think other colleges would have given me the same
opportunities that Lewisham College has given me.
