Tees Valley Working Together Event, 8 June 2007
The Riverside Football Stadium, Middlesbrough
One year on and we now celebrate some of our past acheivements and ponder the challenges for the future.
Over 100 stakeholders met the RIverside Stadium to celebrate the achievements of some of our TVWT learners. Awards were presented by Sue Northcott, outgoing Regional VCS Learning Skills Coordinator, as Management, Community Development and Teaching certificates and diplomas were given out to successful learners.
Following hard on the heels of the awards ceremony, active participants reviewed the future of consortium working and faced up to some of the challenges ahead including the new procurement processes being adopted by public sector agencies such as LSC. Future funding opportunities suggest an even more integrated approach to consortia working across the North East with a likelihood to overarching regional contracting a possibility.
Some of our succesful Level 5 learners in Management pose with Gail Unsworth and Colleagues from New College Durham and Skillshare NE.

from Stockton. They gained their award for their
remarkable effort, commitment and dedication to
learning and Ammara and Wadood have proved themselves
to be a real asset to their community since arriving
as refugees and, despite their young age, have
demonstrated an incredibly mature attitude to
learning and education. They attended Skill Share’s
Management Training courses, and applied to progress
onto further study including attendance at various
training courses and day sessions covering a range
of subjects, and are now teaching Urdu GCSE in
their local community centre, or helping in the
mosque.
