MPCT Manchester Learner Named Finalist at GM Skills Awards 2025.

We are thrilled to announce that Miss Binesh Qureshi, a dedicated learner from MPCT Manchester, has been named a finalist in the Greater Manchester Skills Awards 2025. This outstanding recognition highlights her unwavering commitment, academic growth, and resilience throughout her learning journey.

The GM Skills Awards celebrate the achievements of individuals across Greater Manchester who have demonstrated exceptional progress, dedication, and impact through their skills and learning. Being shortlisted among the region’s best is no small feat, and Miss Qureshi’s journey is a testament to the power of determination, discipline, and personal growth.

At MPCT Manchester, learners are supported in developing their confidence, leadership, and employability skills in a military-inspired setting. Miss Qureshi has exemplified the MPCT ethos through her consistent efforts, positive attitude, and ability to overcome challenges, qualities that have now earned her recognition on a city-wide stage.

In addition to her academic and skills development, Miss Qureshi has actively participated in enrichment activities, teamwork tasks, and community events. Her leadership has been quietly impactful, inspiring peers and earning the respect of both staff and external partners.

“This is a huge achievement for Miss Qureshi and reflects her dedication, resilience, and outstanding contribution to the MPCT community,” said a spokesperson for MPCT Manchester. “We are incredibly proud of her and honoured to see her talent acknowledged in such a prestigious way.”

As we head into the final stages of the GM Skills Awards, we invite the entire MPCT family to join us in wishing Miss Qureshi and all the finalists the very best of luck. Regardless of the outcome, she is already a shining example of what it means to aim high and work hard.
