🌟 Celebrating Success at the Brighton & Hove 2024 Graduation & Awards Ceremony! 🌟

Last night, our CEO Luke Hardy had the privilege of attending the incredible graduation and awards ceremony at the stunning Grand Brighton, hosted by the brilliant team at SCTP.

The evening was a true celebration of hard work and achievement, and we couldn’t be prouder to see one of our own apprentices, Harriet Jones, graduate from her Level 3 Duty Manager Apprenticeship. Well done, Harriet—your commitment and growth have been outstanding!

But the highlight of the evening was undoubtedly celebrating our amazing team member, Julia Hardy, who won the Brighton & Hove 2024 Apprenticeship Trainer/Tutor of the Year Award!

This award is a testament to Julia’s incredible dedication, passion, and unwavering support for her apprentices over the years. From the start, Julia has gone above and beyond to ensure every learner feels valued, confident, and empowered to succeed. Her hard work truly deserves this recognition, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to see her efforts celebrated on such a prestigious platform.

🎉 Congratulations, Julia—this is your moment, and it’s so well deserved! 🎉

A huge thank you to SCTP for organizing such a fantastic event, and congratulations to all the graduates and award winners. Nights like these remind us why we do what we do at Functional Skills UK—helping learners achieve their potential and celebrating their success!

Please join Ukrainian communities around the world in lighting a candle today at 5 p.m. to remember all those affected by the war in Ukraine.

Today marks 1000 days since Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Those 1000 days changed the world as we knew it. They brought more grief and loss to our beloved motherland than the previous 80 years since WWII.

It is difficult to find words to describe the tragedy of this war: unprovoked, unfair, cruel, and ruthless.
It is hard to measure the tragedy of every single Ukrainian in the world. How to see and feel the pain and sacrifice of those who fought, those who were lost in action, who became POWs, those who lost their health on the battlefield, those who lost their loved ones, and those who live in everyday fear of such loss, those who were killed and injured during air raids, those who lost their homes and everything they got in life, those who fleed their homes, those who see the enemy soldiers walking along the streets of their beloved cities and villages and living in constant fear, those who were kidnapped and forced to live in enemy country, those whose kids were kidnapped. Those...

These 1000 days provided numerous examples of Ukrainians' extraordinary bravery and resilience, as well as the incredible support and kindness of all people of goodwill around the world.

On behalf of the Ukrainian community of Brighton and Hove, Stand For Ukraine Brighton and Hove want to thank the city for its extraordinary support during this dark time. Although we are unsure of when the war will end, we think that by working together, we can make a huge difference for those affected by this long war.

Please share this post to spread awareness and show your solidarity with Ukraine.

We’re hiring vocational tutors in leadership, mental health, business, and more. Join a supportive team offering flexible hours, competitive pay, and part-time/full-time roles. Apply now and inspire the next generation!
