NITP Tamworth were eagerly awaiting the BBC Event at Media City and were not disappointed! The event was very well organised; full of informative and useful presentations and a celebrity appearance to cap it all off!
Our apprentices on reflection felt that they had become even closer as a group and been given a unique opportunity to see a business packed full of technology in an everyday setting.
What’s more coming home after winning the ‘Inter-academy challenge’, they were very pleased with the day! Deservedly so!
One apprentice said ‘I never realised how much IT would be used in the BBC, it was amazing’
Another said ‘It was really well organised and I learnt a lot about other people’
One employer – Rich Bishop from The Rich Media Company’ said ‘I felt like a proud parent when I was looking out for my apprentice. I think all of the employers felt the same way. It was great to see all the apprentices enjoying themselves and for them to hear from the inspirational speakers that were there’
Cath Harvey – AM said ‘It was a long yet enjoyable day. It was great to see the apprentices mixing from across the academies, but the victory for Tamworth in the inter-academy challenge made it even sweeter. Not that I’m competitive!’
Sam Ryall RE said ‘It was a really enjoyable day. It was great to see so many apprentices and employers taking part in all of the activities and working together as a team’
