IT@Spectrum is awarded the ‘Most Supportive Employer’ award

Sonia Ratcliffe — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 14:18:45 +0100

To take part in the IT Diploma students had to apply for the position, be interviewed and then if successful were offered the work experience position. The aim of this was to make it as ‘real’ to working life as possible.

The successful students then joined IT@Spectrum and work began on their set projects. The students then had to present their findings to a senior leadership at school, where they were evaluated and graded as part of their coursework. We are pleased to report all students over achieved their predicted grades for this project.

This work experience project lasted for two months, with the students spending time with various members of our staff. Tim added “Our aim was for the students to have a fulfilling, practical and interesting project which was a ‘real life’ experience”.

This project proved successful and will be extended to other schools later this year and into 2011.

In recognition of his and the company’s efforts within the Education Sector Tim collected an award for the Most Supportive Employer at the IT Diploma awards evening.

The Yorkshire Three Peaks Walk is a very demanding but rewarding walk, which takes in the summits of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough all in one circular route. The walk is 24.5 miles long over a variety of terrains and takes in over 5,000 feet of climbing.

After monthly group training sessions at various locations including Brantingham, Millington and walking the Beverley 20 the group headed for the Yorkshire Peaks, on the hottest weekend of the year so far. Everyone pushed themselves in a great team building weekend and completed the walk with excellent individual times.

The next challenge is to collect all of the sponsorship promised in the hope we have reached our £1983 target. If you would like to make a donation to the RNLI through our sponsored walk webpage please follow this link.

“Each year we sponsor a work experience student, we sponsor numerous events at schools, we have our team fulfilling seven posts as school governors, we have worked with school administrators to help share best practice for maintaining pupil records, we have sponsored IT awards at Headland’s School and David Lister and have regularly advised on IT curriculum matters.

“As a business we take seriously our role in the future of this city – and this award is a very fitting acknowledgement of what we are participating in to help benefit pupils across our Hull educational system.”

Sandra Cooper, general manager of the Humber EBP (pictured), said: “We are delighted that we are able to celebrate the achievements of all those who support the Humber EBP. As usual the standard of entries is extremely high and the judges found the process of decision-making very difficult. However, the winners this year are being awarded for some fantastic achievements and the work that IT@Spectrum has completed in the last year has made a difference to young people throughout the region.”
