CMETB The Journey
Explore the pathways in Further Education through the stories of current and past learners. Sometimes when we hear someone else’s story about their experiences we can relate and take inspiration from their journey. The Journey podcast is aimed at giving the full picture from our guests. The different barriers they have encountered along the way, highs and lows and the fears they had at the beginning to where they are now.
