Get involved

I fully support William Towler's letter 'Back to School' in your August edition. In fact his proposal has been run by the EDT for some time. I took part in 'HeadStart' in 2000 at Nottingham University when I was mulling over which A-levels to take. It confirmed the direction I wanted to go in terms of my education and career. I went on to do Year In Industry and have since mentored students during their Go4Set and EES projects. I encourage other readers to get involved!
