The careers team were able to help Mark Dean, who said, "I was in two minds about doing an online course to further my career within the equine industry. I had more questions than I did answers and things seemed quite grey. Being a family man, I was also worried about the financial side.

I spoke to Ann Compton from the careers team, who not only answered my questions, but gave me the confidence to pursue what was best for me. Ann gave me a pathway to my end goals with a clear timeline of tasks for me to complete. I found Ann’s enthusiasm contagious, which gave me the energy to keep looking, when every way I had explored looked blocked.

From September, I will start a foundation degree, all thanks largely to Ann’s positivity and advice."
