Military students on Tyneside are helping fight the good fight against Covid-19. The lot have signed up for the Covid testing programme. This is a collaboration between students from the Military Preparation College (MPC) Newcastle and the Newcastle College.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The group will be giving three days every week to the college’s testing site, where they will function as Covid Marshalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MPC Newcastle offers a range of academic, functional, health, fitness, and physical fitness, public-speak and communication training courses. It is one of 35 institutes across Wales and England.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Students here are exceptional because they are directly trained by former personnel from the British Armed Forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Going forward, 15 to 20 MPC students will be using the time from their own training to help the students at the college.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MPC Newcastle Regional Operations Manager Laurence Corbett spoke about how spirited the team was for the endeavour. He said they were “delighted to be able to support a neighbouring college. We teach our students that a military life is about service – at home and abroad.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Teamwork is a big part of military ethos and it is more important than ever that every single one of us helps where we can,” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a truly remarkable effort and speaks to the amount of focus, dedication, and sacrifice they are willing to put in for the safety of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We commend the efforts of these students and hope the collaboration will bear fruit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
