Year 10 explore IT Distribution in Computacenter

Year 10 pupils visit local IT distribution centre

Ten Year 10 pupils visited Computacenter in Hatfield Business Park. They learned about the routes into work of two employees, Renee and Georgi, the latter being a Bishop’s alumni (a former Bishop’s pupil). They related their school experiences to further education and to their current roles as Early Careers CSR Specialist and Human Resources Consultant.

After finding out about some of the company’s business ventures, clients and global reach, the pupils undertook a task in two groups of planning a 60 second TikTok video on educating others about cyber security. Pupils had interesting ideas that they presented confidently.

Afterwards, we went on a tour of the distribution centre and learnt about how consignments are handled at various stages of the distribution process. Pupils enjoyed the tour and noted the high security on leaving the building.

Having been presented with Computacenter bags and notebooks, we concluded the highly interesting and informative morning.
