NCTJ Journalism students Amina Ahmed and Elliot Mees hit the jackpot when they got the opportunity to grill the Prime Minister about current political issues. They doggedly pursued the topics they were interested in and made sure they got answers to the questions they had prepared.

Level 3 Media & Journalism students Ricky Thompson and Craig Fantham were invited to cover the event and they got an exciting insight into the challenges of working in a press pack! They acquitted themselves magnificently amidst the flying elbows and secured some great shots (to be published soon).

PM Says We're "at the cutting edge"

Prime Minister David Cameron visited Harlow College on Monday 20th May, accompanied by Harlow MP Robert Halfon. After meeting with College Principal Karen Spencer, Governors and senior staff, the Prime Minister was given a guided tour of the Automotive Engineering department led by student Governor Nishall Garala. Safety boots and hard hats were then donned for a visit to the new Sir Charles Kao University Technical College.

While visiting the Automotive Engineering department the Prime Minister spoke at length to students and apprentices - including former Apprentice of the Year Elliot Shakeshaft - about apprenticeships and employment opportunities and their hopes for the future.

The Prime Minister also spoke with Student Ambassador Rhys Davis about the College's highly successful Teaching, Learning and Assessment strategy.

David Cameron said of his visit:
"I think it's been really inspiring. The College is obviously at the cutting edge of providing the range of things that you need in terms of 16-18 year olds, A Levels, technical courses, apprentices, retraining unemployed adults, and I got a real sense of enthusiasm from those running the College for the work they do.

"I think one of the problems in the past was sometimes colleges could be a bit remote from the needs of the real economy and what we see here is businesses feeling that Harlow College is open to them, that they can come here, find apprentices or design courses. It feels really linked up - what Harlow College is doing and the needs of businesses seem absolutely combined."
Harlow College Principal Karen Spencer said:
"It was a brilliant opportunity for Harlow College students to showcase their skills in Journalism, Photography, Hospitality and Automotive Engineering. We passionately believe that people of all ages should be engaged in the world around them and be active citizens - if his visit inspires more people to engage in the political process, no matter their political persuasion, then that has to be a positive thing."
Robert Halfon MP said:
"The Prime Minister's visit to Harlow College and the new UTC was a proud day both for the staff and students and for Harlow.

"I asked David Cameron to come to show him the incredible work of the College and of the UTC. For the PM to meet some outstanding apprentices and to see the new UTC building, which has ten million pounds investment from the Government and will educate hundreds of 14 - 19 year olds, was really important.

"I congratulate the staff and students for showcasing the best of Harlow."

Ed Miliband visits Media City at Harlow College

During a visit to the college on Wednesday (November 12) Mr Miliband answered questions from journalism students, and held a question and answer session with young people, staff and members of the community.

He admitted that the campaign to become Prime Minister in next May’s general election is “a big fight”, but he quashed doubts over his leadership ability by promising “it’s a fight that I’m up for.”

Trainee journalists from the college were given the chance to meet Mr Miliband during an informal interview prior to his Q&A session.

He faced questions on topics including tuition fees, unemployment in young people and how he deals with pressure.

Tom Powter, 21, is currently studying for his NCTJ Fast-Track Diploma at Harlow’s prestigious journalism centre, which counts Piers Morgan and Jeremy Clarkson amongst its alumni. He said: “Meeting and interviewing Mr Miliband was a fantastic opportunity for me as a trainee reporter.”

In February 2015 Harlow College launched Young Professionals, an exciting new initiative that gives our students the opportunity to work on real ‘live’ projects and gain valuable work experience.

The scheme is being piloted by the Marketing team, who are taking both internal and external client briefs for creative project work and inviting Media, Journalism and Photography students to pitch for the work. The Marketing office is conveniently located right next to the large Creative Media space.

Harlow College offered an insight into the job of a professional journalist on Wednesday 1 July at their Creative Taster Day.
The day, which took place at University Centre Harlow, situated on the Harlow College campus, involved sample sessions of press law, shorthand and news writing with a tour of our state of the art facilities, including TV and radio studios.

Harlow College recently celebrated their 50th anniversary of delivering journalism at the Velizy Avenue site. Former journalism students include Piers Morgan, former This Morning presenter Richard Madeley, Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger and BBC 6 Music presenter Steve Lamacq.

The Journalism Centre at Harlow College is Britain's oldest journalism school and is recognised as a leader in training by the industry. Staff specialise in many areas of journalism and retain strong links with the industry.

The NCTJ diploma is a one-year course, also available as a 6-month fast track, and regarded by many editors to be the gold standard in training. Last year, Harlow College topped the NCTJ table for the accredited fast-track courses at further education colleges, with 44 per cent of news journalism students meeting the industry standard.

Senior tutor, Simon Fitzjohn said: "The idea of the day is to demonstrate how essential to journalism the NCTJ diploma is. The taster day will provide an insight into the NCTJ course and will involve taster lessons in law, news writing, interviewing and shorthand where students will learn the shorthand alphabet and how to write their names. There will be a tour of our facilities, including the radio and TV studios where students can see where they will be working. Our own BTEC students will be there and we aim to help with the transition to higher education."

One of the people who joined the taster day was Julia Salisbury, 18, from Old Harlow: "It's a really well structured course, very interactive with supportive staff. I've had a go at doing shorthand, which was a bit daunting but with practice I'm sure that will be a good skill to learn. I hope to start the 1 year NCTJ course at Harlow College in September."

On Wednesday 8th July Harlow College held its annual Student Celebration Awards, where the achievements and talents of the college's successful students were celebrated. It was a wonderful evening and one in which the students played key roles in all aspects of the event, including organisation, presentation, catering and technical support.
The show kicked off with a stunning performance by Level 3 Dance students, who came back to wow the audience again during the interval with a beautiful interpretation of the song 'Lay Me Down'.

Hosts for the evening were Level 3 Performing Arts and Media students Donald Matanga and Brooke Clark, both of whom did a fantastic job of compering the proceedings and entertaining the crowd with their banter and professionalism.

All the young people receiving awards were nominated by their tutors for outstanding achievement, both academically and in terms of their commitment and drive to overcome adversity. Their personal journeys are truly inspirational and a welcome antidote to the negative image often presented of young people.

A special new award was created, in memory of a much loved and much missed member of staff, who we sadly lost this year. The Julie Hanger Award will be presented each year to the student who has not only excelled in their studies but has gone out of their way to be supportive and to help and encourage others.

The awards were again sponsored by local employers, who continue to support the College with their generosity. These partnerships form a crucial part of student life, as there is often the opportunity for work experience, apprenticeship placements and the exchanging of skills, all vital to the growth of the local economy.

Harlow College Principal Karen Spencer said of the event: "Our students have had another extremely successful year - our awards are a fantastic opportunity to celebrate with their families, the local community and employers. It is always hard to choose the winners, but the group this year have really set themselves apart through not only their academic achievements, but their commitment to volunteering, community work, work with employers and raising the profile of Harlow through campaigns like #bigupharlow - the town should be incredibly proud."
