Ignite Programme Success

An exciting new programme, ‘Ignite’ was launched for the first time this month, in partnership with Avon Fire and Rescue. This two-week dynamic, hands-on course was designed to boost confidence and equip our learners for their next steps, whether that be entering employment, pursuing further training, or focusing on personal development.

The learners engaged in various activities including:

  • Team building 
  • Building self confidence 
  • Goal setting 
  • Communication skills 
  • Visits to fire stations 
  • Outdoor activities 
  • Health and wellbeing
  • Cooking skills 
  • Interview skills 
  • Presentation skills

The learners made significant progress during the programme and worked together incredibly to achieve all tasks they were given.

On the final day of the programme, the learners participated in a live demo in front of spectators, where they were asked to create a water dam which would then be used to spray water out of a hosepipe. After the live demo, the learners presented in front of the spectators, discussing what they had been up to for the last few weeks, what they had learnt, and how the experience impacted them. Each learner spoke clearly and professionally, leaving a strong impression on all spectators.

Finally, the learners were presented with certificates to congratulate them on completing the programme!

Following the programme, learners had the opportunity to engage in one-on-one sessions with a tutor to discuss their next steps and explore how to achieve their goals. The Ignite programme was immensely rewarding for both the learners who participated and the team who helped bring it to life!

A huge thank you to all Weston College staff involved, and to Avon Fire and Rescue for partnering with us to make this incredible opportunity possible!
