Careers in Tech & Data (2023 Dates TBC)
Please Note
The information below relates to our March 2022 event, which was held online and in person. We will be providing similar opportunities for you to connect with employers in academic year 2022-23 but the format for these events is not yet confirmed.
During February and March 2022 we’re focussing on Careers in Tech & Data.
Search MyCareerHub and socials for #EdTechDataCareers to find employers with vacancies and events on this theme.
We are expecting to see a huge range of tech and data roles; from Cyber Security Analysts or Machine Learning Engineers, where employers might be looking for quite specific skills, through to Data Analysts, Digital Marketing Officers or Web Designers where employers welcome applications from a wider range of students and graduates.
We’ve also got live online webinars and in person panels with recruiters and recent graduates on Wednesday 9th March.
The live panels will take place on Wednesday 9th March 2022
- Where can my tech & data skills take me? (1-2pm) Hear from recent graduates working in tech & data; the changing shape of roles and the new sectors seeking highly technical students. Work out where your tech/data skills can have the biggest impact. Find out more and book your place on MyCareerHub
- How can I succeed in technical interviews and exercises? (6-7:30pm) Recruiters will share examples of the sort of challenges you can expect if invited to a tech interview or exercise in 2022. Find out more and book your place on MyCareerHub
- Working in tech and data isn’t for me-is it? (1-2pm) Think again about who a career in tech or data is for and what it could involve. Ruled yourself out as think you haven’t studied the “right” discipline? Hear from recent graduates who have succeeded in forging a career in tech/data when they didn’t think it was for them.
