TECH Teesside students to help more women find careers in digital A group of Teesside University students is developing a strategy to encourage more women into the digital industries. Scarlett Reeves, Alexandra Moylan-Jones, Jack Mason and Natalie Woods have formed the DigitalCity Student Board and one of their objectives is to increase the number of women studying and working in digital in the Tees Valley. Members of the board have already been invited to Westminster to present their initial findings to national politicians and members of the House of Lords. They will also work closely with the Department for Culture, Media and Sport to look at ways to influence changes in behaviour to encourage more women into digital. Alexandra said: “We want to challenge the perceptions that this is an industry for men and give women a voice and show that they can succeed in it as well.” Natalie added: “If we can target women when they’re younger – maybe just before they take their options – we can help make them aware of the opportunities that are available to them in the digital industries.” 8 National news BUSINESS INNOVATORS ESSENTIAL FOR ECONOMIC SUCCESS Innovative businesses must be given a greater opportunity to thrive and the UK Government must commit itself to spending more on research and development to deliver an economy fit for the TRAINING TECH 21st century, says the Confederation of British Industry (CBI).

  • The Way of Learning
    1 JARROW TO DURHAM Introduction This guide describes the pilgrimage route between St Paul’s Church in Jarrow and Durham Cathedral. All the Northern Saints Trails use the same waymark shown on the left. The route also follows Bede’s Way from Jarrow to Monkwearmouth, The Weardale Way from New Lambton to Durham and Cuddy’s Corse from Chester-le-Street to Durham, so those way marks will also be helpful. The route is 61 kilometres or 38 miles. It is the most urban of the routes with two thirds of the route on minor roads or paved paths, but it is a route full of interest. I have divided the route into 5 sections of between 10 to 17 kms in length. Points of interest are described in red. The primary focus for the majority of pilgrims journeying to Durham Cathedral in the Middle Ages was the shrine of St Cuthbert, but the other most notable person, whose tomb is in the the Galilee Chapel in the cathedral, is the Venerable Bede. It is primarily because of him that this route is called The Way of Learning. He was indeed a man of great learning, who is probably best known for writing the first history of England. It was called An Ecclesiastical History of the English Speaking People. His other talents included the fact that was that he was an accomplished linguist, an astronomer and he also popularised measuring time from the birth of Christ. During his long life of extraordinary scholarship, he wrote 60 books. There are other connections with the theme of learning, apart from Bede, along the route.
