Last month, as part of AtkinsRéalis’ Digital Her sponsorship, we hosted our second Industry Insight Day, welcoming university students, some of whom are currently on a cyber summer placement with AtkinsRéalis.
The day began with a brief but insightful introduction to AtkinsRéalis and the work we do, before the students worked as a group to complete a “Cyber Escape Room” exercise, created by Alex Graham, a consultant working in AtkinsRéalis' Manchester office.
To provide a little variety, Kelly Tucker, a senior AtkinsRéalis consultant, delivered a highly engaging session on presentation skills – beneficial in any profession!
The cyber placement students then gave a little insight into what they had been up to on their placement, which led nicely into some informal discussion with some of our Early Careers graduates and placement students.
“Learning about everyone’s career paths was helpful and hearing about the variety of graduate schemes AtkinsRéalis has to offer helped further demonstrate what AtkinsRéalis is and what they do as an organisation. It was really nice to hear from those who were fairly early in their careers.” – Mia, a student who attended the Insights Day.
