Why are we a good fit for Service leavers?
Matty joined the College after serving over 20 years in the military. Here’s what he had to say about his career change:
“Applying to work as the Course Leader for MEH Electrical Apprentices at Bridgwater and Taunton College stemmed from various motivations and so far, is immensely rewarding. My passion for education and mentorship drives me to share my knowledge with future professionals, and this role allows me to influence the curriculum, ensuring it meets industry standards.
"The academic environment offers continuous learning, job stability, and a better work-life balance than I’d previously known. I enjoy the diverse tasks, from lecturing to hands-on training, and the collaborative, innovative atmosphere. Most fulfilling of all though, is watching students succeed, knowing I'm shaping the future of the electrical industry. This role provides both personal and professional fulfilment.” - Matty, Course Leader for MEH
