LUNCH

Speakers will ‘tell a story’ about their career journey from leaving school and what they are doing now:
• How maths played a part and how maths is relevant now
• What inspired them to choose their career path
• Their failures, as well as successes
• What their company does and why this is important
• What they enjoy most about their career
• Skills currently relevant in the jobs they are doing now.

This will be a virtual presentation via Zoom
