STUDYING a part-time course at SGS College’s Stroud campus marked a turning point in the life of Melanie Little – and now she’s returning to speak to the next generation of students.

The 10-week Women Returners course has helped hundreds prepare to go back to work by training them on skills such as interviews.

Melanie, who lives in Stroud, said: “My world had just imploded with the loss of my mother, when I was 29, but I started to realise that I was a person in my own right, with skills and knowledge, and my confidence began to grow.”
