Northern Regional College celebrated a remarkable achievement at the Causeway Coast & Glens People Awards 2024, in partnership with Go Succeed NI, bringing home two prestigious awards: Team of the Year (over 10 employees) and the Next Generation Initiative. This bi-annual event, held to celebrate the dedication and hard work of people, teams, and businesses throughout the Causeway Coast & Glens region, was a night of inspiration, bringing together organisations to share success stories and promote the quality roles and career paths available in the area.

The Team of the Year (over 10 employees) award went to the College’s Causeway Campus Project Team. This honour recognises the tireless commitment of all staff involved in making the vision of the new £46-million Causeway campus a reality. Their dedication, collaboration and hard work were essential in achieving this significant milestone, creating a world-class learning environment, a great asset for the Coleraine community and wider area.

The College’s Student Services Team received the Next Generation Initiative award for their acclaimed Got Bounce programme, funded by the Public Health Agency. This award celebrates initiatives that inspire and develop the mindset of young people to achieve the critical initial steps towards their career ambitions. Additionally, fourth year Electrical Installation Apprentice, Leah Henry was highly commended in the category of Apprentice of the Year.
