"Now, I'm no bleeding heart, okay? But... when you're walking down the streets of New York City and you're steppin' over a guy on the sidewalk who, I don't know, might be dead... does it ever occur to you to think, 'Wow, maybe our system doesn't work!'". Bill Hicks.

The 18th and 21st centuries in one classroom! One of many decorative ceilings at Wentworth Castle, and @NorthernCollege's brand new digital skills pathway, which starts on Thursday!
It's not too late for you, or anyone you know, to start your digital learning journey.

It's not too late to join @NorthernCollege's Introductory Digital Pathway, it starts next week with the First Steps with Computers course and is a great place for those without digital skills and confidence to start their digital learning journey.

If Yorkshire is God's own county, then the view from the roof of Wentworth Castle / @NorthernCollege is surely being on top of the world, looking down on creation, to quote The Carpenters?

How many copies of The Call of Cthulhu do you have, Jim?
Well, it's in the omnibus, the Necronomicon book, the illustrated hardback, the graphic novel, the RPG rulebook, and I have it on Kindle. So, six.
You really need another copy, then?
Oh, yes! Look at it, it's beautiful.

Nothing to see here, just The Daily Mail in 2018 promoting the National Trust's recipe for scones. Scones, made with margarine, not butter, I should add. Is The Daily Mail woke now?!

Day 3 of National Trust Sconegate and grown men who ordinarily like to post D-Day-themed memes about how millennials would never survive WW3 because of their over-sensitive, snowflake natures, are still in a state of absolute, apoplectic meltdown about margarine.

I'm a teacher by trade, I know very little about the hiring process for software developers. This is why we are always so grateful to supporters such as Ariel who can help fill the gaps in our expertise and knowledge.
22 Aug 2022
Ariel was one of two hiring managers involved in our employability roundtables. Fielding several questions from our students, she was able to draw on her considerable experience to suggest realistic strategies to mitigate the effect of a criminal record on employment prospects.

Learning to code works on several levels for our students. On the one hand, they're learning a skill highly valued by employers; on the other, they're learning to think differently about their lives and futures. Connecting students with the tech industry is vital to this process.
17 Aug 2022
Our employability roundtables are about more than just practical advice. Highlighting the connection between coding training and actual tech employment, they inspire our students to think about their futures and to step out of their comfort zones to reach their real potential.

This was brilliant, the students really engaged and the advice from Dylan and Ariel was first class (not to mention Franky's inspirational story!). Really grateful to all involved, more to come over the next week!
16 Aug 2022
Last week we started a series of employability roundtables at Wandsworth. Students were joined by hiring managers Dylan and Ariel, and C4K graduate Franky, and discussed employment opportunities in software development. In the 1st profile of the panel members, we introduce Dylan.
