EDITORS COMMENTS
The new style course in which unemployed youngsters are being trained in office skills at ICI Billingham is proving popular. In this print from the 1980s, we see Barrie Morgan, a determined 16-year-old from Billingham, taking charge of his future alongside his fellow classmate Mark Bellerby, who is also eager to learn. Barrie's decision to join the course stemmed from the disappointment of not being able to pursue his desired technical college program due to its cancellation. Undeterred by setbacks, he recognized the importance of computer skills and seized this opportunity provided by Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) in County Durham. The image captures their enthusiasm as they delve into the world of IT education within an industrial setting. The significance of ICI as a prominent British chemical company adds weight to their training experience. This snapshot encapsulates both hope and determination amidst economic challenges faced by youth during that era. Set against the backdrop of Stockton-on-Tees' thriving manufacturing industry, this photograph symbolizes resilience and adaptability among young individuals seeking employment prospects. It serves as a reminder that even when traditional paths falter or vanish entirely, alternative avenues can be explored with equal vigor and success. Decades later, this picture remains timeless—a testament to the transformative power of education and personal drive in shaping lives for generations to come.
