Mindera UK Foundation Building the Future: Interactive Tech Skills and Career Discovery

This three-day virtual work experience gives young people an introduction to the technology sector through a mix of careers exploration, digital skills and practical tasks. It is designed for those who are curious about tech but do not yet know where to start, and it offers a supportive environment to learn more about the industry.

Participants explore a range of tech roles, from coding and product management to marketing and design. The experience also includes hands-on activities such as app wireframing, basic coding and creative problem-solving, alongside group work to design a digital solution for a social issue with support from industry mentors.

Along the way, participants hear from professionals about their own career journeys, including non-traditional routes into tech. By the end of the programme, they should have a clearer sense of their strengths, greater confidence in teamwork and creativity, and a practical next-steps plan for education, training or a future career.
