Employability - Race for Jobs, Employer Testimonials

Kenny Hanson (M.D. Subzero Leisure)

“It’s great to see how many of the learners have stayed and completed the course – even the prospect of working in the cold hasn’t put them off! I’ve heard good reports and I am sure we’ll be employing as many as possible in time for our opening.”

Lee Higginbottom (Learner and now employee of Subzero)

“I have been impressed by the dedication of the tutors which has rubbed on me personally and I am very happy to have secured employment with Subzero Leisure. I would also like to thank Blackpool and The Fylde College staff for their patience with each and everyone of us. Other employers should embrace the pre employment training courses which would benefit all involved”

Argos Manager Blackpool (Chris Barker)

"It was good to create a partnership with Blackpool and The Fylde College. I was very impressed with the work they have done with the students in preparation for the interviews. The standard of dress and the way the students conducted themselves during the interviews was of a very high standard." 

Wendy Hirst Curriculum Manager Business and Essential Skills

“The Pre Employment Programme prepares people for work and gives back a sense of dignity and pride”
