Ivan Connor, assistant Quarry Manager at Harrington Concrete & Quarries, who will be graduating with a Diploma in Quarry Technology, said: "I've thoroughly enjoyed completing the diploma, it's really strengthened my practical knowledge of the industry as well as the theoretical aspect. I've also recently gained a promotion as a result of completing the course so it's certainly benefited my career.
"All of us due to graduate have come so far, from the daunting days of being introduced to the course material, to solving electrical engineering equations! The sense of achievement is most rewarding."
Mr Hartley added: "Graduation is an extremely proud time both for our students and staff and the culmination of months of hard work. We're looking forward to celebrating our student's success with them next week and officially recognising their achievements."
UDC works with a wide variety of organisations to deliver work-based learning programmes and accredited qualifications that improve key capabilities such as service, innovation, leadership and problem solving.
