Goldthorpe students tech-up valuable work experience

The students from Dearne ALC in Goldthorpe were given the chance to gain work experience with Barnsley Council’s Digital, IT and Service Development teams.

Fourteen-year-olds Connor Jenkins, James Oakland, Josh Jenkins and Nicky Cranmer-Bills visited Goldthorpe Job Club where they helped residents get online.

Council staff also showed them the local authority’s front and back-end web systems, business process remodelling, analytics and social media.

The four youngsters applied their web skills to a practical project, designing and coding a website for young people on community involvement and anti-social behaviour in Dearne.
