Modern Apprentice (MA) Ross McMillan has scooped the prestigious
Vocational Qualifications (VQ) Learner of the Year award for Scotland – the
second year running that a Forth Valley College student has lifted the top
prize.
Ross (22) from Tillicoultry recently qualified as a chef having worked
at the Stirling Management Centre and studied, supervised by Forth Valley
College lecturers, for the past four years to complete his MA.
He was presented with his award by FVC Associate Principal Business and
Innovation Colette Filippi at a lunch held at the Gallery Training restaurant
at the Stirling Campus on Wednesday 5 June.
Last year former FVC MA student Kyle Wilson (20) from Crossgates near
Cowdenbeath - who now works as a fully qualified Mechanical Technician at
Longannet Power Station - won the very same award.
Ross said: “I could not believe it when I was told I had won this award,
in fact I did not even know I had been nominated for it. It feels really great
to have won and is another one for the mantelpiece.”
