Francesk's story
"I left school with terrible GCSE’s and couldn’t get work. I needed more training to get a good job, and with support and encouragement from Lambeth College I’ve just completed a BTEC course in business and finance. I’m about to start university so that when I graduate I’ll be able to get a better job than I thought possible – it is a brilliant opportunity for me." Francesk Landa – Student on the Cushman and Wakefield trainee surveyor programme at Lambeth College.
