Young Women in Motor Vehicle and Engineering 2024

It was our pleasure to welcome several young women from local schools to our Olive Grove campus this year, where they got to get their hands dirty and try out Motor Vehicle and Engineering.

This year the students, did not hold back and got stuck straight into all the activities our tutors set them, including tyre rebalancing and CAD designing.

Following this event, the feedback was great -

"Thank you for having me, today has allowed me to see that Motor Vehicle is not just for men and I could be strong enough to do this job" - Outwood Academy City Student

Young Women in Construction 2024

The school and engagement team welcomed several Y9-Y11 girls from local schools to our City Campus, where they enjoyed several activities put together by our tutors. They got stuck into Bricklaying, Electrical Installations, and Joinery. At the end of the day, the girls got to rest their hard-working hands and feed, to be spoken to by the amazing Victoria Roberts from Force Contracts, who delivered an amazing and inspiring presentation about women in the construction industry.

This event keeps growing and getting bigger and better. So watch this space 2025, we are coming for you.

Young Women in IT 2024

For the first time this year, we hosted a young women in IT event. The students got to hear from some female industry experts about working in IT, as well as programming microbit and having a tour of the IT facilities at college.

This was a great opportunity for students to take their passion for IT to another level, and show them what IT course in further education looks like.
