This year’s success was all the sweeter as it included winning the Learner of the Year award, recognising the inspiring story of Erin, a learner from Hugh Baird College, who overcame significant educational challenges to thrive, develop leadership skills, and make a meaningful impact on her community.
After receiving her award, Erin said,
“It was a privilege and I am happy for the recognition of my hard work. A massive thank you also to my tutor Tina Blease at Hugh Baird College, as without her help, none of this could have happened.”
