CPP Donate IT Equipment

York College will soon be reaping the benefits of new IT equipment thanks to leading local employer CPP.

The college's IT department has been given new computer terminals and LCD screens, enabling its IT diploma students to be more creative and further develop their IT skills.

CPP is committed to working closely with the local community and getting actively involved with projects that support younger people. CPP works closely with NYBEP (North Yorkshire Business Education Partnership), which helps schools and businesses learn from each other and ensure school leavers have the right skills when they start work.

Maggie Ross, Head of Division for IT and Computing at York College said: “We are grateful to CPP for donating this IT equipment which will be of real benefit to our Advanced Diploma students when they complete the hardware unit of their course next year. Students on other IT & Computing courses will also be able to use the equipment to enhance their educational experience.”

Stephen Kennedy, CPP’s managing director said: “CPP takes pride in working with the local community in York. We enjoy working closely with local schools and by donating some of our IT equipment we hope it will make a difference to the education of York’s business leaders of the future”
