Congratulations to Channel56’s Angelina Fusco who has been Nominated for Outstanding Student of the Year at the CIPD NI Awards.

She is currently studying at Belfast Met for CIPD Level 5 Diploma in Learning and Development. Angelina entered her facilitation and training on the topic of Journalism & Trauma for journalists in post conflict societies in Georgia and Ukraine.

“I am delighted to be nominated in this category. Throughout my career  I have been a big advocate for lifelong learning. It’s challenging and a bit weird to be a mature student after 30+ years in the news business. (Angelina was Head of TV news at BBC Northern Ireland for 15 years, and spent a total of 30 years at Broadcasting House Belfast.) It was great to share my learning and experience of covering the Troubles/Conflict in NI with others in Georgia and Ukraine who are experiencing similar issues. My lecturers at Belfast Met have been extremely supportive and encouraging.  I wish all the nominees at this year’s CIPD NI Awards good luck and a great night! “
