A trip to Sopra Steria in Edinburgh
In November, 18 Year 12 students from our Tyneside hub attended an Employer Insight Day at Sopra Steria’s Edinburgh office.
As our principal partner, we work closely with Sopra Steria and were delighted to offer these students the opportunity to explore the variety of career paths available within the Edinburgh office and beyond.
Our Future Leaders engaged in three activities which offered insight into careers within the technology industry. Firstly, an employability workshop where students were shown how to craft an effective CV. Secondly, a technology workshop on different real-world applications of AI. Thirdly, a series of career roundtables, where staff from a variety of departments and roles within Sopra Steria hosted discussions with small groups of students.
The students enjoyed the insights offered into a diverse range of roles within the sector and left the day with further motivation and guidance to pursue their goals.
What Future Leaders thought about the day:
“I feel I got a deep insight into Sopra Steria and technology , it was a very eye opening experience and opened more doors for me in the future.”
“The skills workshop was very helpful. I learned how to craft a CV.”
“It was really useful to learn more about the different range of careers available to me and get advice about making myself more employable.”
“All the activities done were absolutely fantastic. I love the career round table.”
