Former Applied beauty student Lucy Lewis from Newtown College has been recognised for her incredible talents by being shortlisted for the prestigious VTCT Excellence Awards 2023.
Celebrating VTCT’s 60th anniversary, the awards aim to recognise our students and partners going above and beyond to demonstrate excellence in vocational education.
With over 500 inspiring nominations from across the UK, the awards were judged by a host of esteemed judges spanning VTCT, iTEC and Skillsfirst sectors, including former Minister of State for Skills and Apprenticeships, The Rt Hon Anne Milton and Shelagh Legrave CBE DL, Further Education Commissioner, Department for Education.
The Student of the Year category sponsored by Wella recognises an exceptional student for their work, either within their programme of study or in relation to a particular project related to their studies. This may include high performance or achievement rates, innovative ways of presenting work, going the extra mile, conducting voluntary work alongside their studies, or using what they’ve learned during their qualification to create an opportunity for themselves to strengthen their record of achievement.
Lucy has already experienced success after winning a gold medal in the Inspiring Skills Finals 2020 for Beauty Therapy, and a bronze medal for competing in the Beauty Therapy Practitioner category in 2021 for WorldSkills.
Lucy will have to wait until the 13 July where the winners will be announced in prestigious event at Milton Keynes College to see if she will be crowned ‘Student of the Year 2023’.
Good Luck Lucy!
