Almost 100 students from the Black Country and Staffordshire have been presented with an award by the Duke of York in a ceremony at St James's Palace.

The 16 to 18-year-olds, from both the Black Country University Technical College in Bloxwich and The JCB Academy in Rocester, received the Duke of York Award for Technical Education.

This award highlights the talent and excellence of young people who have chosen technical education and to encourage wider support from parents, businesses and other stakeholders.

Students were recognised with bronze, silver and gold awards, which also recognise completion of work experience placements and the development of important workplace competences such as communication skills, problem solving and taking responsibility.
