<strong>Leeds</strong> is a truly<br />

cosmopolitan city,<br />

catering for all tastes<br />

and interests.


LEEDS & KEIGHLEY<br />

As the fourth largest city in the UK after London,<br />

Birmingham and Manchester, <strong>Leeds</strong> is exciting,<br />

ever growing, and frequently ranks as among the<br />

most popular student destinations in the country<br />

as well as a cost effective place to study.<br />

Whether it’s socialising or shopping, sport, culture<br />

or an escape from the hustle and bustle – <strong>Leeds</strong><br />

has it all.<br />

Keighley is located in the Aire Valley on a direct<br />

train route from <strong>Leeds</strong> and about ten miles from<br />

the centres of Bradford, Halifax and Skipton. It<br />

offers the best of both worlds - a town centre<br />

large enough to offer a wide range of shops<br />

with a pleasant mix of small independent traders<br />

alongside major retailers. The surrounding<br />

countryside offers a wealth of leisure opportunities<br />

and is a popular international visitor attraction for<br />

walkers and Brontë fans.<br />

OUR ESTATES VISION<br />

This year we have taken forward plans to enhance<br />

our estates portfolio with an exciting 10 year<br />

property strategy.<br />

Phase 1 of the Property Strategy was the opening<br />

of a brand new £35m Keighley Campus in<br />

September 2010, after two and a half years under<br />

construction.<br />

The property strategy plans will mean the<br />

improvement of many of our other campuses<br />

phased over several years, and include extensive<br />

renovation and relocation of various subject areas.<br />

The next phase of the plan is the relocation of<br />

our Thomas Danby Campus provision (Roundhay<br />

Road) in summer 2013. You may have read in the<br />

news that <strong>Leeds</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>College</strong> purchased the former<br />

Alf Cooke Printworks building (near Costco) on<br />

Hunslet Road in <strong>Leeds</strong>.<br />

Work has already commenced to clear the site and<br />

building work began in September 2012.<br />

During the spring/summer of 2013, the<br />

Hospitality & Catering, Food Manufacturing, and<br />

<strong>Hair</strong> and <strong>Beauty</strong> departments currently based at<br />

Thomas Danby Campus will all relocate to the<br />

fantastic Printworks Campus.<br />

We look forward to seeing you at one of our open<br />

events / tours of the fantastic new Printworks<br />

Campus as soon as dates are announced in 2013.


STORIES AND<br />

EXPERIENCES


Olympic Success: The <strong>College</strong> was heavily<br />

involved with the London 2012 Olympic Games,<br />

with students taking part in everything from<br />

carrying the Olympic torch, baking cakes for<br />

celebration events in <strong>Leeds</strong>, dancing to crowds<br />

on the relay route, and helping out as torch<br />

ambassadors. Team GB’s Nicola Adams (who<br />

became the first female boxer to win an Olympic<br />

gold medal in the Women’s Fly Final) was a<br />

former student of <strong>Leeds</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>College</strong> on the<br />

National Diploma in Software Development.<br />

<strong>College</strong> Opens New Dining Destination:<br />

<strong>Leeds</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>College</strong> has joined up with The<br />

Flannels group to open a restaurant in a<br />

prestigious city centre location. The Food<br />

Academy, on the third floor of Flannels,<br />

<strong>Leeds</strong>, showcases the <strong>College</strong>’s most talented<br />

students. On completing training, students<br />

who excel have the opportunity to secure an<br />

apprenticeship at the restaurant, providing<br />

invaluable experience in a professional, high<br />

quality environment. Recently, the students<br />

have worked with Michelin-starred chef,<br />

Steve Smith.<br />

Sauce of Inspiration: The man behind Reggae<br />

Reggae Sauce, Levi Roots, shared the story of his<br />

rise to sauce super stardom with students at <strong>Leeds</strong><br />

<strong>City</strong> <strong>College</strong>. Levi visited the <strong>College</strong>’s Thomas<br />

Danby Campus to chat to Hospitality & Catering and<br />

Business students about setting up and succeeding<br />

in business. His appearance on the BBC’s Dragons’<br />

Den brought both Levi and his Reggae Reggae Sauce<br />

to the public’s attention, with his sauce now stocked<br />

by major retailers and the Levi Roots brand extended<br />

across a range of other products.<br />

Once in a Lifetime Experience: Students and staff<br />

from <strong>Leeds</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>College</strong> received the opportunity<br />

of a lifetime when they were granted a private<br />

audience with His Holiness the Dalai Lama during<br />

his visit to the city in 2012. The Tibetan spiritual<br />

leader and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate was in<br />

<strong>Leeds</strong> as the keynote speaker at the Yorkshire<br />

International Business Convention (YIBC) <strong>Leeds</strong><br />

2012. As a sponsor of the YIBC, the <strong>College</strong> was<br />

invited to bring 100 students and staff to meet<br />

privately with the Dalai Lama, to enable him to give<br />

a special message to the young people of the city.<br />

CASE STUDY<br />

<strong>Hair</strong>dressing Level 2 London 2012 Olympic<br />

Students<br />

Asking Danielle & Laurie how they would describe<br />

their time working at the Olympic & Paralympic<br />

salon they replied<br />

“An amazing time<br />

and experience we<br />

will never forget”<br />

Returning home after being away from home for<br />

two months the girls have so much to talk about,<br />

meeting famous athletes, seeing Prince Harry and<br />

various celebrities whilst learning more than they<br />

could have ever imagined.<br />

I can see that the girls will share this experience<br />

with people for the rest of their lives; they<br />

really seem to appreciate just what an amazing<br />

opportunity this really was for them.<br />

Following the girls return;<br />

Danielle has been offered a job through one of<br />

the stylists at the Olympic salon to go and work<br />

in his London organisation “Organics” earning a<br />

substantial income. Danielle is currently relocating<br />

with the help and support of her new manager to<br />

London to embark on a new and exciting future<br />

as a stylist.<br />

Laurie Wing is returning to continue her<br />

education on level 3 <strong>Hair</strong>dressing with <strong>Leeds</strong><br />

<strong>City</strong> <strong>College</strong>. After supporting an Olympic Salon<br />

Stylist on a photo shoot which will be featured in<br />

the Times Magazine Laurie will be returning to<br />

London in the holidays to support the same stylist<br />

on regular photo shoots.<br />

With the help and support from <strong>Leeds</strong> <strong>City</strong><br />

<strong>College</strong>, Danielle and Laurie have really embraced<br />

this wonderful opportunity. With personal<br />

statements on their CV from the Olympic Salon<br />

Manager they are now venturing onto fantastic &<br />

exciting career prospects.<br />

CHOOSING THE<br />

RIGHT COURSE


Where to start?<br />

For some people it’s easy knowing what to<br />

study. If you really want to be a Plumber, then<br />

studying Dance may not be the right choice...<br />

and vice-versa.<br />

If you’re not sure what you can do, want to do<br />

or how to do it, we have a few tips to help you<br />

decide.<br />

Consider the following when choosing<br />

your course:<br />

• Your Skills and Talents<br />

Think about where your strengths lie. You might<br />

want to list them or sit and talk them through<br />

with somebody who knows you well, like a friend<br />

or family member or a teacher.<br />

• Your Hobbies and Interests<br />

Think about what interests you. Things are<br />

easier to learn when we have a genuine interest<br />

in the subject area. Try to make links between<br />

your hobbies and interests and the courses on<br />

offer. Talking to your family or friends can be<br />

helpful here.<br />

• Entry Requirements<br />

All of our courses require that you can show<br />

what skills and talents you have to offer, and<br />

that you can show a genuine interest in the<br />

subject. For some courses you will need to have<br />

qualifications and be able to show evidence<br />

of these. The entry requirements for all of our<br />

courses appear in the <strong>College</strong> Prospectuses, on<br />

the <strong>College</strong> website and on the <strong>Leeds</strong> Pathways<br />

website.<br />

Please check that you meet the entry<br />

requirements for the course that you apply for.<br />

• Your Career or Job Ideas<br />

If you have a specific career or job idea, it is<br />

important to make sure that your choice of<br />

course will help you to achieve this. Some<br />

people choose their career first and this<br />

determines the course they apply for. Some<br />

choose a course that they know they will<br />

find interesting and then explore their career<br />

options later. There is no right or wrong<br />

approach to this but help and support is<br />

available.<br />

• Essential Skills Required for Work<br />

We want to make sure that everyone has the<br />

chance to improve or consolidate their skills<br />

required for work and/or HE. All students who<br />

haven’t achieved A*-C in Maths, English and<br />

ICT will be able to study Functional Skills or<br />

GCSEs in these areas at a level appropriate to<br />

you. Employers tell us that these are essential<br />

to work. They will also have the opportunity<br />

to develop their ‘employability’ skills – selfmanagement,<br />

team working, problem solving,<br />

business and customer awareness, positive<br />

attitude – as part of their learning programme.<br />
