Workshop
Inspiring young people with a series of career-focused discussions on the technology industry.
Secondary
We have been sitting down with guests including app designers, cybersecurity apprentices and virtual reality games designers to find out what is involved in their jobs day-to-day, hear about some of the exciting projects they are working on, what they love most about their jobs and any advice they would give to young people interested in a similar career path.
As well as people in different jobs we’ve also showcased different routes into technology including apprenticeships, graduate schemes and fast-track training and our speakers come from a range of organisations. The careers inspiration series allows young people to find out, first-hand, about some of the different opportunities available in technology.
Due to the current circumstances, young people will be missing out on activities such as careers fairs and work experience, so we wanted to provide some information to help fill that gap.
Overall, the series is a great opportunity to:
