Jordan Mark, a former SRC student from Rathfriland is returning to the College as a full-time joinery lecturer, at SRC Greenbank Campus! Jordan first attended SRC as part of school partnership programme (SPP), while he was studying at Rathfriland High School.

Jordan is returning to SRC with a wealth of experience and knowledge, which he will share with aspiring joiners.

As part of the SPP programme, Jordan studied Joinery and Tiling but within a few weeks of the course, he knew Joinery was the perfect fit. At the end of the two years, Jordan was awarded ‘Best in School’ and ‘Best in Subject’ at the SPP awards.

Following his success, Jordan continued his education at SRC and enrolled for the NVQ Level 2 Certificate in Joinery. He continued to be an excelling student and added to his trophy collection by successfully qualifying in the Regional and National WorldSkills finals.

Since then, Jordan has worked in London and has been employed by companies such as Annett and Ingram Construction and 3 Interiors.

Jordan is returning to SRC with a wealth of experience and knowledge, which he will share with aspiring joiners.

Brian Doran, Principal and Chief Executive at Southern Regional College said: “I am delighted to welcome Jordan Mark back to Southern Regional College as a member of our lecturing team. Jordan’s enthusiasm and passion for carpentry and joinery was evident from his time as an apprentice and when he competed at WorldSkills UK. I have no doubt that Jordan will inspire our students to follow his path to success. I wish Jordan all the best in his new role within the College."
