We are now in our third week of the Energy course. We have an excellent group of students that are keen to get going with the work.
Today, the team has been learning about what goes on inside power stations.

Unfortunately posts by students have been delayed due to a technical hitch, but we expect it will be sorted for next week.
This blog is for the Young Women in Energy class at Banff Academy. The class are working towards a Skills for Work National 5 qualification in Energy.
By the end of the course they will have
investigated the energy industries that power Scotland (including oil and gas)
built renewable energy solar and wind systems
practiced the important employability skills that employers seek
explored possible career options that STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) can offer
toured local companies that employ people for their STEM skills
We will showcase some of the work that we do on a regular basis.
