Computing Alumni – Ben Ward
Ben studied on our Computing pathway at Aylesbury UTC since year 10 and completed year 13. Ben says:
As well as achieving very strong qualifications, with achieving three level 3 distinction grades, Ben also contributed to the school through his the marketing team and completing IT work experience here.
Importance of Next Steps meetings
This first came about after Ben’s Next Steps meeting with the Careers Lead and Principal. All students are invited to attend these to discuss their plans for the future and receive support in choosing what is right for them.
IT Technician Apprenticeship Programme
We have been so impressed that our Principal, Nick Lamb, supported the opportunity to approach our Trust, the Merchant Taylors’ Oxfordshire Academy Trust, who has set up an IT Technician Apprenticeship Programme and Ben will be our first enrolment.
Nick says:
“In short, Ben is simply too good for us to lose and we have every confidence that he will play a major role in the success of students at Bucks UTC and our Trust in the future.”
