Gower College Swansea in running for accountancy awards

The four categories are:

• College of the year

• Accountancy team of the year (our Accounting Futures programme delivered by Better Jobs, Better Futures in conjunction with Gorseinon’s AAT and A Level team)
• NQ (newly qualified accountant) of the Year - Megan Jonathan

“We are absolutely delighted to be shortlisted for these awards,” says Learning Area Manager, Bruce Fellowes. “This is a testament once again not only to the dedication and professionalism of the entire accountancy teaching team but also to the talent of our students. We have never been shortlisted in four categories before so we are all incredibly proud.”
