IT@Spectrum is awarded the ‘Most Supportive Employer’ award
IT@Spectrum’s Customer Service Director Tim Davison has worked closely with Newland Schools for Girls and the Humber EBP establishing a ‘real working life’ work experience placement for the students with the aim of them achieving an IT Diploma.
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.
