IT placement helps students gain new skills

Wednesday, December 14, 2011

David and Kieran, two students studying IT at Queen Alexandra College (QAC) in Harbourne, recently joined our IT team for a week to get hands-on experience and put their skills into action. The students spent time in different departments including service desk, business support (Midlands) and infrastructure.

The Queen Alexandra College is for students aged 16 or over who are blind, partially sighted, visually impaired or autistic. Many of the students have Asperger's syndrome. Some students have a learning disability while other have complex or multiple disabilities.

Andrew Denton, Technical Support Analyst said "David and Kieran enjoyed their time with us and learnt some new skills. It was a pleasure having them in the department. They were both very keen and eager to learn, and we look forward to providing further placements in the future."
