Kabir's decision to attend Harrow College was not just about its proximity to his home, but an astute choice to explore a more technical educational path.
The appeal of the Digital Business Course and the College's impressive employability partners made Harrow College an ideal choice for Kabir.
From the outset, Kabir found himself impressed by the College's vibrant campus and the outstanding resources available. As a student on the T Level Digital Business course, having access to well-maintained computers and devices was Kabir says ‘crucial’, and Harrow College met that need.
What stood out even more for the amiable Kabir was the strong support system in place. Whether seeking expert academic guidance from teaching staff or career advice from the careers’ development officer, Kabir always found someone willing to listen.
The opportunities at Harrow College extended beyond the classroom, with Kabir attending exciting events across the country, broadening his personal and professional horizons and enable him to gain invaluable new networking skills.
Becoming an ambassador
Enrolled on a T-Level course, Kabir seized the chance to engage with professionals - laying the foundation for a robust network that will serve him well in the future. Kabir says he is particularly grateful to the careers team, whose support helped him secure a valuable 45-day work placement and achieve the distinction of becoming the College’s first-ever Department for Education T-Level Ambassador.
Kabir's academic journey was not without challenges, but he cites solid support from his lecturers. They guided him through classwork, exam preparation, and his Extended Project Qualification (ESP), ensuring that he was well-equipped for success.
Looking ahead, Kabir aspires to follow the apprenticeship route post-college. His sights are set on the technical or business industry, with potential paths in cybersecurity, data analysis, or business analysis. His advice to fellow students echoes his own experiences: "Always take every opportunity you can get. If you don't, you're going to miss out."
