SkillsTrain Young People of the Year 2008

About SkillsTrain

Published: 6th Mar 08

SkillsTrain Young People of the Year or ‘YOPEY’ – the contest that aims to improve the image of young people by ‘revealing, recognising and rewarding young unsung heroes’ – is back.

At least £10,000 can be won across Hertfordshire as YOPEYs are held in the county for the third time. Dacorum young people will be competing in this YOPEY with young people from St Albans City and District for £2,000.

The SkillsTrain Young People of the Year winners will be announced at an exciting awards ceremony to be held in Hemel Hempstead in March.

After a series of awards ceremonies across Hertfordshire, winners from all 10 districts of the county will then go on to the Hertfordshire YOPEY Final – hosted by Hertfordshire County Council at County Hall – next May.

Among the judges will be 17-year-old Andy Salter, from Church Lane, Colney Heath, and 13-year-old Devon Glasford, of Sparrowswick Rise, St Albans, who won the last local YOPEY. Andy, a sixth-former at Verulam School in St Albans, is organizing a concert to raise money for a cancer charity, and Devon, a pupil at Townsend School, cares for his sick mum.

What our students say

I have recently started the course and am well on the way to sending my TMA 02. I was recently made unemployed and paying for the course looked like it wouldnt happen. I was still studying the course and it was extremely difficult as I was being pressured by my bank regarding mortgage repayments. I have found new employment and am hard at the studying, already I have learned a heck of a lot and its all thanks to joining you!!!

Not all young people are binge-taking, drug-taking, violent hoodies!

Mid-career training, the answer to the IT skills gap?

With press reports of fewer and fewer students taking up A-level computing and a skills shortage within the industry, Europe’s largest computer skills training organisation, SkillsTrain, believes flexible training that fits around existing work commitments is the answer to the IT skills gap.
