She continuted, "Next ,the bustling underground, to take the group to Blackfriars where they visited the offices of Costain, part of the ATC group, who are fitting out the new underground train system running West to East through London. Costain delivered an incredibly interesting and informative presentation on their progress to date and future plans. What really inspired the NRC Computing students was the motivating talks from Costain’s current apprentices and recent university graduates who were not much older that the NRC students themselves. Costains were also kind enough to provide lunch for all."
The afternoon was filled with a motivational event held in the Dominion Theatre Tottenham Court Road. Over 1500 Career Academy students attended and heard from speakers including past Career Academy success stories. Entertainment was provided by Citi choir and dancers from Britain’s Got Talent.
A tired but enthusiastic cohort made their way back to Gatwick Airport for the trip home. The group further gelled as a result of the day’s shared experiences and are all looking forward to the next stage of their IT Careers Academy journey.
