IntoTech with Speakers for Schools and The HG Foundation 

Speakers for Schools has partnered with The HG Foundation to deliver a programme of high-impact interventions for young people in state secondary schools to encourage them to consider a career in the technology sector.
  

We’d like to offer your school the chance to participate in our ‘IntoTech’ programme which, in the pilot year, will give students in Years 10 and 11 the opportunity to experience the tech sector through inspirational talks, employer-led insight days, and work experience.

Participation in this programme is fully funded, so there is no cost to the students or the school. In return, we ask you to support the evaluation process by providing all important feedback from students and supporting staff.  

If you’d like to find out more information about our IntoTech Programme and how to get involved, please register your interest by completing this form before 5pm on 8 Novemberhttps://forms.office.com/e/M50jrQqqcx
