Are you up for a challenge this March? Want to work in a team on a real-world education project, developing new skills and giving your CV a big boost?
If so, sign up for the IOE Employers’ Challenge – part of the IOE Spring Festival of Careers.
You don’t need any previous experience – just bring your curiosity and enthusiasm. You’ll be working in a team to find solutions to problems set by graduate employers.
You’ll then present back your findings to an expert panel of judges, with a prize of £300 for the team with the best solutions to their problem.
You can put your own team together, or we’ll match you up with other IOE students.
The competition runs from Friday 8 March – Wednesday 20 March. The projects are designed so you can fit them around your studies and other commitments. The competition is open to all IOE students.
Register here. Deadline: Monday 4 March
