CAREERS: TOPICS

Abstract

Girl students scooped four out of the five major prizes in an industrial essay competition organised by GKN Group Services Ltd of Redditch, Worcs. Local students were asked to choose a subject from one of three titles connected with Industry Year, and entries came from sixth‐form pupils at six high schools and from the local college. The first prize — a personal computer — was won by 16‐year‐old Elizabeth Oddy, a student at Arrow Vale High School, whose subject was “Why do we need Industry Year”. The winning essay earned for her school. Arrow Vale, a trophy specially designed by GKN Group Services. Elizabeth (fourth from left) is shown receiving her prize from Tony Collier, Managing Director at GKN Group Services.
