New engineering career for 海角直播 mother

Being a single mother and a university student can be a tough challenge. However, this hasn鈥檛 stopped Jane Heatley, who has graduated from the University of 海角直播 with a BEng (Hons) Chemical Engineering, 2.1 class. In addition, Jane gained a post as a graduate process engineer with an international chemical firm, straight after completing her studies.

Jane, 27, from Middlesbrough, studied part-time at the University from 1995. She combined her course work with caring for young son Nathan, now aged seven. After completing her degree this year Jane started a new career with Huntsman Petrochemicals, based at the former ICI North Tees site in Middlesbrough. Jane said: 鈥淚鈥檝e been interested in science since I was at school, mainly because I like definite answers to questions and with a subject like chemistry there are no 鈥榤aybes鈥�.

鈥淚t feels great to have begun the job I want after a long time studying and looking after Nathan. I find the work very rewarding and it pays enough for me to be able to give my son the life I want to provide. I鈥檓 a bit of a rarity as a woman in the industry, but Huntsman is a very forward thinking company and I have been made very welcome. I think my future is looking pretty good at the moment, it鈥檚 been well worth all the years of hard work.鈥�

Jane is the first in her family to graduate from University.

She graduates on Wednesday 28 November
