Eight of our Year 10 students have had an amazing opportunity this week to complete Work Experience with Electricity North West based in Salford.

The students have met with a range of engineers, apprentices, technicians and trainers. They have seen first hand the huge variety of roles available in such a large organisation and learnt about how they could pursue a career in the sector. The students visited the Electricity North West Training Academy based in Blackburn and were able to try some of the equipment. They also visited Salford University to see some of the research being done there on sources of energy.

We would like to offer a huge thank you to Cheryl and Linda from Electricity Northwest who worked with the students during their work experience and designed such a great programme for them.

The students: Jenson, Logan, Brandon, Harvey, Loui, Brett, Harley and Jake were a credit to our academy and said that they were really enjoying the experience. Many of them are now viewing engineering as a career that they wish to follow in the future.
