Eye-Opening Careers

Hosts Gemma and Nas met during their time working in education and graduate recruitment. Having supported 1,000s of post-16 students, they realised many faced similar challenges, from how to select the right course at uni, to worries about moving away from home. Featuring student, employer, and university guests, this series is focussed on careers in science but will provide information that is relevant to many subjects. So, if you’re an existing student looking for support or an employer/parent keen to understand how Gen-Z are currently navigating their studies, be sure to tune in!
