Explore how chemistry and microbiology keep water safe through a three-day hybrid experience. Tackle real-world water challenges, take a virtual reality tour of water and wastewater treatment sites, and visit the live lab at the Belfast facility.
Join NI Water for a three-day hybrid work experience that explores the science behind clean water and environmental protection. You’ll step behind the scenes of a major Northern Ireland organisation and learn how chemistry, microbiology and innovation help keep water safe for homes and businesses.
Across the programme, you’ll take part in interactive breakout sessions, tackle real-world water challenges and hear from laboratory scientists, early-career professionals and industry leaders about their routes into science. You’ll also take part in a career masterclass with practical CV and interview advice, designed to help you strengthen your applications and build confidence.
The experience combines remote and in-person elements, including a virtual reality tour of water and wastewater treatment sites and a live lab visit at NI Water’s Belfast facility. It is aimed at young people who want to discover scientific careers, develop useful skills and understand how science is applied in a large public organisation.
