STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths)

Deciding what to do after your GCSEs can be quite daunting, and for some young people and their families it can be a confusing time.

The Student Recruitment Team arrange and host a variety of activities to help young people with their decision making and hopefully take the stress out this process, and make the move to college easier.

This booklet is designed for young people, their parents/carers and school teachers.

Young people can book onto activities and competitions individually, or via school. For teachers it provides an overview of activities available, but is in no means exhaustive.

Our curriculum teams are keen to come into schools to deliver workshops and work with students.

If you have any questions after reading this guide then please don’t hesitate to contact the Student Recruitment Team.

Welcome to the Kirklees College taster session and events booklet, which has been created for both students and teachers.

Have you ever wondered how your desktop, laptop, iPAD and mobile devices work? Its true - software makes the world go round. Without it the bankingsystem would fail, planes would fall out of the sky and dare we say it social media would no longer function. Coding (or programming) is the construction of software and involves a recipe (an algorithm) to help create a useable product. When we ‘run’ the code, the programme will follow your step by step rules and deliver your results. This taster day will teach you the basic and intermediary steps needed to code your own application or write simple programmes.

Kirklees College is excited to deliver the next stage of the Dewsbury Learning Quarter Development with the opening of Pioneer House in September 2020.

The specialist centre will cater for Creative and Digital Industries, higher level qualifications, Apprenticeships, work skills and adult learning, and will continue the drive to improve education and increase the skills of local people. This will be a centre where many young people can access further qualifications once they have completed their initial programme of study.

Pioneer House is a Victorian Grade II listed building in the centre of Dewsbury. It opened in 1880 and originally housed the Dewsbury Pioneers’ Industrial Society Ltd, later known as the Dewsbury Co-operative Society Ltd.

The original building was designed by architects Henry Holtom and George Fox, who also designed the nearby Town Hall and local schools and churches.

Throughout its history, the building has been home to a cinema, theatre, library, butchers, cobblers, snooker hall and an Italian restaurant.

Pioneer Centre won’t just be about work and study, but will also play host to a Starbucks Coffee shop, bistro and social spaces for you to eat, drink and relax.

The new centre means the introduction of new courses and these courses have been designed with your future career opportunities in mind.
