Before joining the
College I was studying
my GCSEs at Consett
Academy. One of the
main reasons I chose the
course is because I want
to progress to do an
apprenticeship and
Derwentside College has
great partnerships with
local employers. I’m
hoping this will help me
secure an apprenticeship
with a leading engineering
company to get my
career started.
