MECNW tutor scoops Merseyside All Star award
College tutor Dave Rogers has been recognised as a Merseyside Allstar after receiving an award in recognition of his contribution to education and training.
Dave, who has been teaching apprentices at the Maritime and Engineering College North West in Birkenhead (formerly the Laird Foundation) for the past ten years of a lifelong career in education, picked up his award at a celebration dinner earlier last month to coincide with National Apprenticeship Week. The event was organised by the Learning and Skills Council and Radio City to thank employers, learners and staff for their commitment and achievements in the field of work-based learning, and was held at the BT Convention Centre in Liverpool. Managers and colleagues from the Maritime and Engineering College also attended the dinner to join Dave in celebrating his award.
Jim Teasdale, college principal and chief executive of Mersey Maritime Group, the college’s parent company, said:
“I have known Dave both personally and professionally for more than 25 years and am delighted that his commitment to improving the lives and career aspirations of so many young people has been recognised in this way. The award is very well deserved.”
Dave Roger has worked in the field of education for over 44 years and, in that time, hashelped train literally thousands of young people for the engineering industry. Dave has also worked tirelessly to champion jobs with real career development potential for school children and the underprivileged.
