TT-Shaped
We develop
As well as the highest quality technical and
professional training, it's also important that you
develop those other skills that make you stand
out to employers and to universities. These are
called T-shaped skills or even 'softer' skills.
As a student at Barking & Dagenham College, you'll have many opportunities to develop your
T-shaped skills from presentations and competitions, to interview workshops and networking
events with employers. You could even work on live briefs commissioned by employers who
are looking for talented students to work on their projects. It's great experience for your CV,
and you could get paid too.
