Schoolgirls are logging into a career in computers thanks to a course organised by Coventry Polytechnic. They learned how hi-tech equipment has transformed many industries and about the wide range of new jobs for women made possible by computers. Third-formers from Stoke Park Ernesford Grange Lyng Hall and Blue Coat schools are taking part in the week-long course. the Polytechnic organisers hope it will encourage more girls to become more interested in a job with computers. One part of the course was a tour of Coventrys Computer-run traffic control centre which has revolutionised vehicle movement in and around the city. Manager Tom Holland showed them how closed circuit Television and computer-controlled traffic signals enabled them to minimise delays in rush hour and after accidents and breakdowns. A look round GEC Telecommunications in Coventry is also included in the course programme.
