Ten Leeds College of Building (LCB) apprentices have been awarded the prestigious ICE Quest Technician Scholarship.
The Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) Queen’s Jubilee Scholarship Trust (Quest) was set up to encourage young people to pursue careers in civil engineering.
The scholarships are given to high calibre students, studying for a civil engineering qualification and each comes with £1000 in financial support.
Our successful apprentices this year come from a range of employers including Arup, BAM Nuttall, Burnley Council, East Riding Council, JN Bentley, MMB and The Spencer Group.
LCB has a fantastic track record of producing civil engineering apprentices that have been awarded the ICE Quest Technician scholarship.
Vicky Patterson, Curriculum Manager for Technical and Professional Apprenticeships, said:
“We are over the moon to once again have so many of our apprentices recognised by ICE. Year after year, LCB apprentices receive this prestigious scholarship which is a testament to their determination and abilities.
“Ten is the most we’ve had in the last few years, so we’re absolutely delighted. It’s a fitting endorsement for the quality of the teaching and levels of support available right here at LCB.
“On behalf of everyone at the college I want to say congratulations to Miah Farhan, Brandon Perry, Hannah Cunningham, Jason Kelly, Will Sykes, Jake Brunskill, Rodney Rodrigues, Ryhan Ruf, Sam Walters and Michael Ward.”
All our scholarship winners will also be honoured with a trophy at this year’s BIG Awards in September.
