This is a great time to learn new skills and keep active – why don’t you sign up for DofE and complete whilst you are at home?

I have signed up myself, and this is a fantastic opportunity and a great addition to your CV. You can volunteer for family members, for example you might be helping a younger sibling with their home schooling!

For those of you already signed up, see the link for some great advice on continuing with your DofE in the current climate, check out this link www.dofe.org/dofewithadifference

Our Student Engagement Team are here to help and current DofE students or if you are interested in signing up. Drop them an email if you have any questions at Lewis.pye@sunderlandcollege.ac.uk or Mark.laing@sunderlandcollege.ac.uk.
