Students lap up chance to enrol
ABOUT 80 youngsters have enrolled on a new course which could see them given a free laptop or driving lessons at the end of it.
The students were inducted on the Fresh Start course, aimed at youngsters aged 16 to 19 who are not in employment, education or training, at Doncaster College this week.
They will take part in activities to get them used to life at college, including a fashion show, circus skills, dance, tae kwon do and floristry.
The course runs for 15 weeks and if the students then enrol and stay on a mainstream course at Doncaster College, on completion, they will be given either a free laptop or free driving lessons.
College Principal Rowland Foote said: "This course is about the students having fun and finding out what they enjoy doing. Hopefully they'll come back and enrol on another course in September.
"It's a perfect stepping stone for those students who want to get back into education and work towards a career."
A similar course is likely to take place over the summer months. Call 0800 358 7575 to find out more.
