A Career Academy is hard work and it won't suit everybody. You have to be prepared to put in extra hours of study, live up to a leading company's expectations of its own employees and be ready to work as part of a team of like-minded young people. Your tutors will push you and have high demands and expectations - but the rewards are worth it.
Think you are up to it?
If you are interested in applying for a Career Academy you will first need to be accepted onto the relevant courses (Business or Computing: BTEC National Diplomas). These courses can be applied for on-line or by downloading an Application Form or requesting a Prospectus for Young People 2010/2011.
