Dan Pratlett
Lecturer in Business and Tourism

I have worked as a lecturer since 2014, where I started on a graduate internship. Having taught across several provision, mainly specialising in marketing-based modules. I have been teaching on UCW degree qualifications since 2018 and have managed modules including marketing, digital communications, and social media marketing. Previous to working at the college I worked at a school as an assistant business manager, and worked as a business consultant during my degree placement year at a motorhome dealership. I have also held several varying retail and leisure work roles and have supported several small businesses to start up and market. The business sector is constantly evolving, specifically marketing. The rise of digital media and the change in the way people communicate in the 21st century means that marketing must follow. Teaching and learning about an ever-changing system means that the subject is never the same one year to another. The most inspiring thing is the way our prepare learners for their next steps, leaving the college as well-rounded, employable young adults and being part of that journey.
