The Guardian: Colleges offer rescue plans to Woolies staff

5 January 2009

City and Islington College has swung into action to support hundreds of Woolworth’s workers who have begun the New Year by losing their jobs. A rapid response team has visited Woolworth’s stores across London to advise staff on what services they can access through the college and the training and support they can receive.

I chose this course because I wanted to have the opportunity to use my own creativity in designing, says Daniela, who is on the Fashion HND, and I had heard things about this College before and the comments were really good. I really enjoyed being able to create something different and exploring various techniques and styles. One of the trips we did as part of my course was going to the Pure Exhibition, which was really interesting as we were able to see different designers and also see the new Winter trends for this year. The teachers are very helpful and really help you to find your own way in doing things.
