“I found computer science really challenging, but I was determined to get better. The more I revised and explored the subject, the more it started to click, and I actually began to enjoy it. That helped me discover a real passion for cyber security, especially as a young woman in STEM. My work experience with TechFirst and MEGA Hubs opened my eyes to the exciting roles out there, like ethical hacking, and the way the field is constantly evolving. It’s made me even more motivated to pursue a career in cyber.” Ruwaida Yousef Oldham Sixth Form College student
“The pupils were able to see where their ideas could lead and inspire them to want to pursue jobs like this in the future.”
“Students found it really engaging and highlighted some different roles they hadn’t realised existed.”
“The whole day was fantastic - the students were able to gain an insight into potential tech career pathways.”
“Observing students develop their confidence and resilience as they step out of their comfort zone has been amazing.”
“With huge benefits to be had with the ethical use of AI, this education will empower the next generation.”
“This year, we are set to see the highest number of students leave us to pursue further studies in computing.”
