Free networking evening run by The Skilled Youth for young people, employers and professionals to explore careers in engineering and motorsport.
MK Youth Connect is back at MK:U Innovation Hub on Tuesday 17 November, with this session focusing on engineering and motorsport. It's run by The Skilled Youth, who put on these free evenings to bring together young people, employers, professionals and the wider community to look at opportunities in a particular industry. Each session centres on a different sector, chosen based on what young people ask for at the launch, and this one is all about engineering and motorsport.
On the night, you'll meet people working in those fields and hear about the different career pathways open to you. That includes apprenticeships, technical roles, design, data and operations, so there's a fair bit to cover whether you're thinking about the hands-on side of things or the planning and analysis behind it. There's also room for honest conversations about how people actually got started, rather than just the polished version of a career path. After that, the session moves into practical activities.
The whole thing takes an hour and a half, it's in-person, and under-16s are asked to attend with a parent or guardian. It's open to young people, parents, families, employers, educators and community organisations, so it's as much for the adults around a young person as it is for them. If you're working in the sector, it's a chance to meet the next generation; if you're a parent or teacher, it's a way to see what's actually out there.
