SINGLE mum Julie Brown said her decision to go back into education had even inspired her young daughter.

"I want to work with children, ideally in children's services, but I've also applied what I've learned to my child. It's very empowering."
She said eight-year-old Jaéd now had aspirations to go to college when she was older.
The course was great, she said, as it included paid and voluntary work placements, giving her work experience to add to her CV.
"Mostly I was at Kernow Positive Support at Truro, doing befriending work," she said.
"I wouldn't normally have gone out into the community and it opened my eyes to what's out there."
