15 outstanding young people gave up 4 days of their Summer Holidays to learn about careers in STEM industries and develop their employability skills to help them better understand the world of work
Today John and Janice have spent a soggy Saturday at Imperial Buildings in Rotherham with the Rotherham Libraries Team as part of the Yorkshire day celebrations 🎉
At the end of the day, all of the students graduated our Summer Academy and they were presented their certificates in front of their parents by our employers and the High Sheriff of South Yorkshire, Professor Jaydip Ray DL.
The Work-wise Foundation has been around for over 13 years, delivering employability programmes and bridging the gap between young people and employers.
In March 2024, we will deliver Get Up To Speed with STEM for the 14th year!!
