Case Study
Recruitment agency Plan Personnel's Uxbridge branch provides around 60 home carers to elderly and disabled people in the borough through Hillingdon Council. The company also provides staff to the catering and warehousing industries.
"I would like to thank Uxbridge College for the excellent training I have been given. I found the workshops both stimulating and rewarding and they have really helped me build on my knowledge and confidence.
Both my tutors were absolutely fantastic. I was a bit apprehensive at first having left school with no formal qualifications but I got so much support. The facilities at the College are great too."
