Engineering success stories
I have really enjoyed my work placement at North East Door Systems as I have gained a lot of hands on experience. I am continuing to work with the company now my work placement is over so I am getting even more experience which is fantastic!
Arik Watson, Electrical Engineering Level 3
I loved every minute of my time at the College, and everyone was so supportive and encouraging. I want other young people to feel that too and to know that there’ll always be people who will believe in you and give you a chance, you just need to be willing to take a chance too.
Rachel Boynton, Level 3 Mechanical Engineering
The College is well-organised and the courses have developed my skills for employment. I have learnt a lot on this course and I am putting the valuable skills I have learnt from my qualification into my role at work every day.

The skills I have learned at College have definitely given me a good foundation to build on when I take my next step as an apprentice. I have gained lots of experience in the workshop, giving me an insight into the machinery and tools I will be working with.
