At the North East Technology Park (NETPark), it's people who power innovation – and that begins with nurturing future talent.
Over 200 students from Sedgefield Community College recently experienced this first-hand during a dynamic STEM outreach day, delivered in collaboration with This is Creative Enterprise (TICE) and NETPark. The event was designed to support young people at a pivotal point in their education, linking what they learn in the classroom to the opportunities that lie ahead.
With exams on the horizon, many students are facing a demanding period. This initiative aimed to offer something more than guidance – it focused on motivation and perspective.
Through exploring the wide range of careers across science, technology, engineering and mathematics, students gained a clearer understanding of how their studies can shape their future paths. Crucially, it also highlighted that these career opportunities are not far away, but available right here in County Durham.
