Congratulations to the three hugely talented finalists in yesterday’s prestigious Cadet Vocational College Westminster Awards ceremony at the House of Lords. Petty Officer Cadets David (Southampton Unit), Eva-Stefania (City of Liverpool) and Philippa (Burnham-on-Sea & Highbridge) all enjoyed a fantastic day as guests of Cadet Vocational College Chair Lord Lingfield, having excelled against tough competition from across the UK’s cadet forces to reach the final 15.
All three had impressed during the Award’s summer expedition to Cornwall, where they volunteered for charities including the Cornwall Wildlife Trust and Surfers Against Sewage. So it was great to see them all receive their ILM Level 3 certificates in Leadership and Management
In front of guests including the Sea Cadets CEO Martin Coles CBE, and the Education Secretary Gillian Keegan MP, along with the National Staff Officer Vocational Qualifications and some very proud parents and COs.
Most impressively of all, City of Liverpool's Eva-Stefania was presented with the ILM Achievement Award – a truly exceptional achievement!
BZ to all the finalists for being such great ambassadors for Sea Cadets and showing an inspirational commitment to vocational learning!
