Scooping the Skills Provider of the Year was recognition of the high standards Blackburn College set itself.
Their motivation to apply for the BIBAs was to prove they were worthy. And it worked.
“Our motivation was simple: to benchmark ourselves against the very best and to shine a light on the impact Blackburn College has on learners, employers and the local community, says Matt Robinson, executive director student support for the college, “It was recognition of hard work, high standards and a shared commitment to transforming lives through exceptional education, training and support.
“The BIBAs are not just about winning; they are about reflection, challenge and growth. The process itself drives improvement, which aligns perfectly with our values.”
