Already a long-serving curriculum manager at Newbury College, successfully leading the Essential Skills and Technology departments, Shelly took the opportunity in 2019 to develop the introductory curriculum offer for University Centre Newbury (UCN).
Her extensive knowledge of learner needs, local industry requirements and her effective leadership skills have helped Shelly to build a strong team and curriculum that are focused on supporting individual aspirations and local economic growth.
Working with the Apprenticeship Team and other colleagues at Newbury College, Shelly continues to develop UCN's career-focused provision, providing progression routes for school and college leavers, supporting employers and creating opportunities for people who want to achieve their degree locally.
