How to talk about engineering and technology careers with young people
Tuesday 30 April 2024, 10:30-11:30
Join us on Tuesday 30 April for the second of our STEM careers focused webinars for 2024.
Following on from March’s webinar, 'The careers education landscape', that looked at the provision of careers guidance across the UK, this workshop explores techniques for engaging young people in conversations about a career in engineering and technology.
First held in early 2022, we are revisiting this key topic as part of our supporting resources for the The Code Showcasing engineering pledge. Featuring updated information and advice, the webinar is ideal for organisations involved in STEM outreach who are looking to improve or refresh their knowledge of careers guidance approaches.
In the session, Eleanor Eyre, Head of Careers at EngineeringUK, will provide practical tips on how to open and pitch conversations, how to connect with young people on the things they are passionate about, and how to manage questions and unexpected situations. Plus, you’ll receive guidance on how to embed essential careers information into your conversations and workshops.
We’ll also be joined by the Institution Of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), who will share insights on how they engage young people in conversations about their career.
Finally, you’ll have the chance to put your questions to both IMechE and Eleanor at the end of the session.
Code members will receive more information via email. Sign up to The Code to get access to the workshops.
