Apprenticeships list 10/7/13

Here's the latest list, some great opportunities on there. 
If you want to apply, make your application the best it can be.  Give yourself time, ask for help, and get someone you trust to run through it before you submit it. 
Then when you are offered an interview, do some preparation beforehand (again, ask for some help and there's lots of interview tips online).    I love the video clip on the BT Bootcamp page (good opportunity there too).

Back online...

Great trip to Big Bang Fair at Duxford yesterday, students on top form and a pleasure to take on this inspiring trip. Big thanks too to Brian Lavender from D&T for his support on the Cavendish Team today.   Excellent ideas for possible STEM projects next school year.  I discovered programming on the Raspberry Pi, learned about how to extend the shelf life of bananas, and walked through Concorde - the Imperial War Museum is an amazing place to host this brilliant event.
Sorry for interruption to service recently, back online now, thanks for your patience!   Lots to catch up on....
