AN IT graduate has helped redevelop his old college website to meet the needs of a new generation of student.
Former student Matthew Reale has completed a four-month project working with senior colleagues on a new 21st century integrated website for Darlington College.
The 19-year-old junior web developer completed his level 3 extended diploma in IT at the college after leaving school.
“It has been so exciting to work on the new website for Darlington College, especially as I was a former student there,” said Matthew, of Darlington.
“I looked at other learning providers but Darlington College offered me the best opportunity to learn in a real hands-on environment, where all the teaching wasn’t just from a text book. It also had really impressive facilities with CISCO hardware systems which enabled me to achieve my CCNA in routing and switching.
“It’s great to be able to help other students navigate their learning at the college through the new website and I’m really pleased with how the final product has turned out.”
