Rossett School in Harrogate recently hosted its annual Careers Day, giving students the chance to explore a wide range of career paths. Barry Rankin (Sales Director), and Foley Nkem (Apprentice IT Engineer) enjoyed sharing their experiences and insights into the world of IT service and technology.
Barry & Foley highlighted the exciting opportunities within the IT sector and there was much talk around the development of AI. Students were particularly engaged by discussions around IT support and service, with many expressing a keen interest in programming; showing a lot of enthusiasm for many recent projects completed by DCS on e-commerce integration with a accounts software, CRM software, service management and property management.
As a new apprentice at Deans Computer Services, Foley’s input proved extremely popular. Students were eager to learn more about apprenticeships, asking questions about the experience required and the qualifications recommended to get started. Foley’s perspective gave them a relatable and inspiring example of how determination and practical learning can open doors to rewarding careers in technology. The event was a fantastic opportunity for students to ask questions, gain inspiration, and see how their skills and passions could translate into future careers. By connecting education with industry, Rossett School continues to empower its students to think ambitiously about their futures.
