We absolutely love this approach by @DXCTechnology a huge shout out to @DXCMichelle and her team for pulling this together. ๐
Be great to see this rolled out to other schools to support the pipeline of Computing Science pupils. #ChooseComputingScience
So proud to finally launch this yesterday at our Erskine site. As Programme Lead, I definitely couldnโt have done it without my Project & Event Management team and volunteers. Not to mention @DYWWEST ๐๐ป
Today, we expanded our DXC Digital Futures Academy into #Scotland! Partnering with @DYWWEST, we will educate and inspire 52 students from eight #Glasgow area schools in a unique four-year education programme๐

@ali_bali_bee_82 Yes! She created two games yesterday which was superb. Weโre in the process of picking winners at the moment to be announced next week during our last session.
@ali_bali_bee_82 Aaliyah has been a delight to work with on the STEM sessions. Can you forward me an email address so I can send you some photos of her in action? :)
That's a wrap on #STEMWest23 ๐ฅณ
A massive thank you to every employer who had a table at our event, all of the young people who attended and to our hosts @westcollscot ๐
We hope you all had a brilliant 2 days of fun ๐
See you next year! ๐
Spent all day volunteering at @ErskineBikeMeet supporting our site charity @ErskineCharity. @DXCTechnology@DXC_UKI held a STEM workshop as well as a Colouring In Competition. Great turnout and an amazing day ๐๐ผ
Today's @ErskineBikeMeet day! We can't wait to welcome you all. One final reminder that there is no car parking for visitors on the estate. PARKING is available at our neighbours @DXCTechnology with a FREE shuttle by @mcgillswest
"Over the past five years, growth in demand for IT staff in Scotland has outstripped that recorded for the UK as a whole, with increases of 89% and 45% respectively over the Q3 2017-2023" https://t.co/XU8pJKb2CO
Say hello to โ Mia (@theparkmains) who finished her apprenticeship & is now a Project Manager, Michal (@JohnstoneHighSc) who works in our Service Desk with 2mths left to finish and Katie (@_stcolumba) who has 6mths left & is currently a Service Transition Manager @DXCTechnology
This afternoon, James, Katie and myself were at @WestCollScot for #ScotAppWeek23 Apprenticeship Career Fair. We spoke to several school leavers and college students about @DXCTechnology@DXC_UKI Apprenticeship opportunities and the range of job roles within Tech.
All in all, it was a beneficial day for both students and staff. Feedback from @theparkmains@DYWPMHS suggested that several of them were now considering a career in Technology that they weren't previously aware of- a bonus!
Yesterday, to kick off #IWD2023, @DXCTechnology Erskine hosted 40 female students from @theparkmains. I was joined by several of our female Apprentices, Graduated and SMEs to help break down stereotypes and the gender gap in the Technology sector. #WomenInSTEM#STEMDXC@DXC_UKI
We will be rolling out more of these STEM Workshop sessions, to all students, over the coming months. If your school is interested in taking part, please do not hesitate to reach out. @DYWWEST@DYWGlasgow@DigiSkillsEd @STEM_Ren @SSERCofficial
