‘On Friday,2 November, ten Year 12 students went to an Aspiration Digital Day at Maidstone Grammar School for Girls, ran by local digital marketing agency Reflect Digital. The aim of the event was to inspire and inform students about careers in the digital sector, with talks from speakers in a range of related careers. The day began with an introduction followed by some advice from a recruiter about landing a job and a Q&A session about university vs. apprenticeships. Next, we split off into different workshops based on options that we had chosen: Development, Creative, Marketing or Client Management. These workshops were really interesting as we were able to hear more specific advice about the area that most appealed to us. At lunch, it was a good opportunity to speak to representatives from many local digital companies, some of whom were keen to offer us work experience. After lunch, there were a couple more inspirational speakers who shared their personal journeys to success in the digital industry, then we ended the day with a Q&A, giving us the opportunity to ask any final questions. Overall, it was a really interesting day which made us all more aware of the potential careers that we could pursue in the digital sector, and more importantly, the different paths that can lead to successful digital careers.’
