Manchester College Placements – June 2023
Village Web Company have been working with The Manchester College to offer work experience placements to students studying BTECs and T-Levels.
In June I welcomed four T-Level students who are working here at our shop in Romiley village. They are in their final few weeks of study and will all be starting their careers in various parts of the tech industry.
Usually I focus on teaching people how to do a particular thing or helping them with basic digital skills, these placements are very different. None of my current student team need help using a computer, but working in digital is about more than just writing code and that’s why they’re here. They are getting experience of working in a real business and I get to make the most of their amazing skills by working with them on web development and data projects that will make a lasting difference to my little social enterprise. We will also be running a digital drop in event where they will help me support members of the local community who need help doing things online.
During their time here the team will be contributing to our GitHub and writing regular blog posts about their experiences and the work they’ve been doing.
