Hanife Da Costa has been an outstanding colleague, working alongside me for over three years in the business development provision at a Further Education College. Her dedication and expertise have been instrumental in elevating our programmes . She consistently demonstrated excellent quality skills, from developing innovative curriculum improvements, with exceptional care and precision. Hanife played a role in preparing us for the Ofsted inspection, ensuring our processes were streamlined, our documentation was impeccable, and our team was fully aligned, ultimately contributing to a successful outcome that highlighted our strengths. Beyond that, her positive impact extended to student engagement, where she fostered a supportive learning environment that boosted retention rates and led to numerous success stories, including apprentices securing high-quality employment. Hanife’s professionalism and enthusiasm have not only enhanced our department but also inspired those around her.
