Resources for Schools & Colleges

Our goal is to help school and college leavers throughout the year understand what technology opportunities are available to women and how they can get into these industries.

On Tuesday 1st and Wednesday 2nd of November we hosted two webinars just for School and college students looking to find out more about career opportunities in subjects like Digital Marketing, IT, Software Development, Business Analysis and more.

Each webinar allowed students to:

Hear from powerful individuals from big companies on their opportunities for September 2023.
Learn about opportunities available to individuals in regards to Apprenticeships, allowing students to understand their options on getting their first job in an office environment whilst also receiving support and training.
Gave students an opportunity to ask questions on apprenticeships to employers and our Apprenticeship experts on the call.
After the webinar students can refer back to this webpage for up to date resources, and leave their details regarding apprenticeship opportunities so our team can support them at any point in the year.
