STUDENTS across a group of colleges in Warwickshire are celebrating their A-Level and BTEC results.
WCG – formerly Warwickshire College Group – has seen students opening results at its four campuses, including Rugby College.
Rugby College student Samuel Canham has achieved great results to set him up for a career in cars.
The 18-year-old achieved three Distinction* grades – the highest possible marks – in his Engineering BTEC.
Samuel is set to begin a three-year apprenticeship at Cummins’ Daventry production facility, making high-horsepower engines for the power generation, mining and rail sectors.
He said: “I couldn’t have done any better, so I’m absolutely delighted! Engineering has fascinated me from an early age – and I have a real love for cars and the production process for all of the component parts.
“The course was really good and thoroughly enjoyable. I’ve made some good friends and had some great teachers supporting me.
“I learned a great deal about how engineering can be applied to everyday life, which has benefitted me in my work experience with my uncle’s business MD Electro Mechanics, where I’ve been involved in car restoration, breakdown support and other call outs.
“I can’t wait to start at Cummins at the start of September. They’re widely known within the sector and will be a great place for me to launch my career in engineering.”
