15 full-time volunteers, from the vtalent programme, working in a range of placements across Doncaster College, graduated at a ceremony in the Waterfront Restaurant at the Hub recently.

In front of family, friends and colleagues, George Trow, Principal and Chief Executive at the College handed out certificates to students.

A buffet, prepared and served by Hospitality and Catering students, was provided for guests once the ceremony had taken place.

In addition to these certificates, volunteers have gone on to achieve a number of qualifications including PGCE, Counseling, level 2 Volunteering and Football Coaching. As well as going onto degree programmes and employment.

Due to the success of the vtalent programme, which was externally funded, the College has since embedded a volunteering programme into the mainstream provision at the College.
