A change in career ambition has proved to be a winning move for Bournemouth & Poole College student Joanna Holmes.
Joanna, 21, from Poole, set out as a catering student at The College, but decided that the heat of the kitchen was not for her and moved into the challenging world of Business Administration.
Her decision has worked out well as her Apprenticeship year with homes provider Aster Group has led to a full-time job offer, weeks before the official end of her Apprenticeship course.
Award-winning Digital Design student Patrick McAndrew is justly proud of his re-working of a famous self-portrait of Vincent Van Gough.

Four thousand ambitious students across the UK applied to work at the NYT over the summer holidays. And Jasmine is one of only 64 who have been chosen.
