OBE for WAC's Chris Preddie
On the 10th October last year, Chris Preddie spoke and performed
to an 'Expert Panel' of senior representatives from Colleges, the
National Apprenticeship Service, the Skills Funding Agency, Sector
Skills Councils and Rinova consortium members WAC and Collage
Arts. The Panel was drawn together to discuss issues relating
to employment, skills and social cohesion, as part of the 'Shine'
event to celebrate and disseminate the outcomes of the ASPIRE Project.
We were all delighted to learn that Chris was honoured with an
OBE in the New Years Honours List for his services to young
people. Chris was someone who had had difficult experiences
in life, and became a student at WAC - an experience which he
credits to turning his life around. Read more about Chris and his
