Share your knowledge with students by sponsoring an IT learning day
Are you an employer who wants to help enthuse young people about technology and inform them about IT careers , but don’t have a venue to host a group of visiting students? Volunteering to take part in an out-of-school and out-of-office event can be a rewarding experience for you, your colleagues and the pupils involved.
How can I help out?
Sponsoring an event for students at an external venue provides students with a similar experience to a day at your company. If you don’t have a venue available, you can provide:
- business challenges based on scenarios at your company for the students to work on
- a team of IT professionals to speak at the event and run activities with students
- a panel of judges to decide on a winning group, as well as small prizes for the winning students
Where will I hold the event?
You don’t have to invite the students into your office to help them understand more about working in IT. e-skills UK can help you to find the right location in a university or other suitable venue.
