Sharon is flying high

Having a change of career may be daunting for some, but for Solihull College student Sharon Humphreys it is a childhood dream, as she embarks on a new career with BMI Baby.

Sharon, who turns 48 next month, has spent the majority of her working life as a freelance beauty and fitness consultant, providing a unique service to employees in various corporate businesses across the region.

But after raising two boys, who are now 22 and 17, she decided to pursue her dream of becoming an air stewardess and enrolled on the BTEC Level 3 in Air Cabin Crew and Aviation Operations at Solihull College in September.

After successfully taking part in an assessment day in December, Sharon has secured a cabin crew role with BMI Baby, which she begins in March after four weeks of training.

Sheldon-based Sharon comments: “I am absolutely thrilled to have got a job with BMI Baby and I’m really excited about starting my new career. I have wanted to be an air stewardess since the age of 16 but for various reasons it wasn’t something I was able to pursue. The course at Solihull College was recommended to me and I am so glad I decided to enrol. It has been fantastic in allowing me to gain an insight into the industry and provide me with the necessary knowledge to succeed in my interview.”

Based out of Birmingham Airport, Sharon will be working for BMI Baby flying to their short-haul destinations.

Her course tutor Ian Boulton comments: “I am extremely proud of Sharon and I know she will excel in her new job. She has demonstrated an enormous amount of enthusiasm and passion for the course and this has enabled her to succeed in gaining her dream job so quickly.”

The BTEC Level 3 Air Cabin Crew and Aviation Operations is a one-year course which covers modules including airline health, safety and security on the ground and in the air, ramp handling and operations, and aircraft emergency situations, amongst others.

Animal-azing day out for St Alphege pupils

Students at Solihull College, who are currently training for a career in the Early Years sector, put their learning to the test this month as they taught a class from St Alphege Infant School for the day.

The students, who are currently in their final year of the HND Advanced Practice in Work with Children and Families, focused their class around an Animal Antics theme, with lots of different activities for the Year 2 pupils to get involved in.

From making sock puppets and masks to playing musical animals and farmer in the den, the students arranged a variety of sessions for the 30 young people, which allowed both the students and pupils to practice a range of skills.

Student Sophie Lawrie comments: “Organising this day for the pupils has been a great experience and a fantastic opportunity to put our knowledge into practice. We have to carry out work placements in schools and nurseries as part of our course but we’ve never had complete supervision of a class, so we are grateful to St Alphege Infant School for providing us with this opportunity.”

In addition to classroom-based activities, the pupils were also treated to a tour around the College’s Land Based Centre to visit the animals and watching a show in the theatre from the Performing Arts students, before being taken back to school.

Deputy Head Teacher at St Alphege Infant School, Rosemary Hope, comments: “This was a super opportunity for our Year 2 children. They were able to be involved in a lot of craft activities, as well as seeing some very interesting animals, including a water snake and a very large snake. It was fantastic for our children to be able to work in a different environment and to be exposed to some new experiences.”

The HND Advanced Practice in Work with Children and Families is a two-year programme which focuses on areas such as child development, communication, language and literacy, inclusion, health, and management issues in early years.
