Share Your Skills: Educating the Next Generation

Habib Rahman enrolled with CRC straight from secondary school as an Apprentice with Marshalls Aerospace. After 3 years, Habib completed his apprenticeship and moved into full-time employment with Marshalls as a Mechanical Manufacturing Technician. Rahman spent a further 7 years working in the industry before he turned his attention to teaching. A family history of working in education had made an impact on Habib and he was keen to follow the same career pathway as his father. 

Habib said, “I am passionate about passing on my knowledge and skills to young people. I wanted to be able to share my experience of working in the industry with the next generation of Engineers, so when I was given the opportunity to teach, I jumped at it.”

Habib completed his teacher training at another college and after 3 years of teaching, he started to look for opportunities closer to home. Habib joined Cambridge Regional College in 2020 as a Lecturer in Engineering. Upon joining CRC, new lecturers at CRC are supported by the Excellence Coaching team, whether they are new to teaching or moving from another employer, to ensure a smooth transition into the teaching role.
