to Barking & Dagenham College."

stimulating and challenging. A
great place to explore and find
direction for what I wanted to
do."
"Before I started the programme,
I was a frustrated and angry young
man, fed up of being told that I
couldn't do things because of my
disability. I knew Career Ready
was going to change my life - and
it has!"
"This is a great place to learn.
Barking & Dagenham College was
the first place where as an actor,
I got supported by great people
and a great college."
"Anyone who says what you can
or can't do because of where you
come from - ignore them!"
