Bristol university appoints senior health leader as region pushes alternative routes after GCSEs
The University of Bristol has appointed a senior health and life sciences leader while Gloucestershire universities and a major supermarket have promoted apprenticeships and other pathways for school leavers around GCSE results time.
A molecular epidemiologist who led a major University of Bristol study to help schools develop systems to prevent and cope with a potential COVID-19 outbreak during the pandemic is returning to the University as Pro Vice-Chancellor for Health and Life Sciences in January 2027, the University of Bristol press office said [1]. Gazette Series, Stroud News and Journal and Wilts and Gloucestershire Standard reported that the University of Gloucestershire has told young people collecting GCSE results this week that the results do not define their future and that there are different routes into employment, further study and university [2][3][4]. Cotswold Journal reported that Morrisons wants to help more young people get into work by offering 1,000 apprenticeships [5].
