NULC students invited to RAF Cosford

Following on from a two day workshop provided by the Royal Air Force (RAF) in November, Construction and Engineering students from NULC have been invited to RAF Cosford to take part in a range of activities.

On Thursday 23 February a number of students will travel to the Shropshire Air Base where they will have the opportunity to meet Sergeant Ian Pringle, from the RAF Motivational Outreach Team who has previously visited the College to provide workshops to Construction and Engineering students. 

Whilst at RAF Cosford the students will spend the morning on the Low Ropes facility followed by lunch in the Junior Ranks Mess.  During the afternoon the students will have time to tour the RAF Museum.

The RAF has been working with students to showcase the types of careers open to them once completing their studies at NULC.

Rob Sproson, lecturer in Construction at NULC said: “The students are very excited about the visit to RAF Cosford.  They’ve been provided with a kit list and are spending time preparing for the visit.”

He continued: “The RAF and in particular Sergeant Ian Pringle have been brilliant and have dedicated valuable time and resources to the students here at NULC, the students have found the sessions they have already attended very inspirational.”
