TechBac students from Harrow College have taken part in a competition to test their teamwork, presentation and communication skills.
The TechBac Challenge 2015 took place at London South Bank University on Monday 9 March 2015.
Harrow College’s Year 10 Level 2 students, made up of students from Salvatorian College, Park High School, Rooks Heath High School and Whitmore High School, took part in the competition.
The students were asked to create their own political party.
Following careful deliberation from the judging panel made up of City & Guilds personnel and sponsors Thomson Reuters, Harrow College students from Park High School and Rooks Heath High School won with their We Are One Party idea.
Special mention goes to semi-finalists, Whitmore High School, who came up with the Black and White Party.
Thomas Brosnan, Skills Centre lecturer at Harrow College, said: “A massive congratulations to all the students that took part in this year’s TechBac Challenge. The experience is something the learners will cherish and the feedback they have received will be invaluable to them.”
The TechBac programme of study aims to support young people in developing the skills they need to succeed in the workplace.

The TechBac curriculum provides learners with a professional pathway to their chosen career and gives them the opportunity to achieve the technical qualifications and skills they need to progress.
TechBac courses, which have been developed and endorsed by industry, carry UCAS accreditation which will allow students to progress to higher education.
