上个月, as part of AtkinsRéalis’ 数字她 sponsorship, we hosted an Industry Insight Day, welcoming 10 students from a local college into our Manchester office.
数字她's mission is to help end inequality and increase diversity in the technology and digital sector. The event aimed to inspire and encourage the next generation of female talent by sharing industry experiences and insight into what it’s like to work in the sector.
Providing meaningful encounters with employers reduces a young person’s likelihood of becoming NEET (not in employment, education or training) by 86%, and enables our staff to share their knowledge and passion for what they do to inspire young people.
It was great for our staff to be involved in giving back into the Manchester community. The college fed back that they loved the event and were impressed with the success stories shared. The students left feeling inspired, with their lecturer reflecting ‘it has definitely opened their eyes into what they can do in the industry. I can’t wait to see what this event will lead them to do after college.’
