Holly’s impressive career to date
has won her £2,000 worth of
support from Winning Students, a
scholarship programme managed
by the University of Stirling and
funded by the Scottish Funding
Council.
Holly said “I think this is a really
great programme. It’s helped
me a lot so far with getting to
competitions abroad, training
costs, and getting help from a
physio and food nutritionist.”
Trainee Engineer Zoe McCarlie went from Prince’s Trust to Prestwick
Aircraft Maintenance Ltd via a Sheet Metal Course at the College.
She credits the 12-week Prince’s Trust programme with sparking her
interest in engineering.
“I decided to follow in the footsteps of my sister Dale and enrol on
the Prince’s Trust programme at the College. I thoroughly enjoyed
my time my group and feel that my self-esteem has improved, as well
as my skills in leadership and team working.
Joining the Prince’s Trust programme was one of the best things I
have ever done as it has helped me start a career in engineering.”
