Last Friday was the end of the 4 week Digital (Tech) T-level industry placement supported by Argus Media. We remember conversations with Caroline Loubert, Andrew Godfrey and Jon Peterson started back in May 2023 about a collaboration and it went along the lines of "we love the talks and insight days you're doing, we would love to do something longer, something impactful" ...and so just over a year later we have had Karolina Kamionka Rona Nteeba Gainelle Sarmiento and Nyashadzashe Zinyuke from Ursuline High School Wimbledon join the team at Argus Media for 4 weeks as full-time apprentices. 🙌 This is a major contribution to their 45-day mandatory company placement they need to get their qualification! At the age of 16/17, the students have gained invaluable insight across tech including: 🗞 Different roles across Product Management, UX Design, Engineering, QA, Service desk. 🐞 They found a software bug in their first week! 😯 They've been surprised about how similar their course content is to the real world ↗ Different pathways people took to get into tech 👍 👎 What jobs they like and what they don't want to do! ...and outside of the above, they loved how friendly, welcoming and supportive the team are and will miss you (and the pool table 🎱 ) Thank you to everyone at Argus Media for this unforgettable opportunity 👏👏 Meltem Dincer Tunde Jinadu Theodora Winful Naushine Robinson Assoc CIPD Halima Bhayat Oliver Bernard
