Our focus is to create opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds with a focus on race, gender and social mobility. We work with industry leaders including Amazon, Accenture Microsoft, PwC to develop innovative initiatives to create a sense of belonging and awareness of career options. We bring industry and educators closer together to provide opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds and supporting businesses in building a diverse pipeline of talent. As a result of our programmes students have secured opportunities at Rolls-Royce, Amazon, Microsoft, Adobe, Ford, Deloitte, PwC and Accenture. Our targeted programmes give students the confidence and tools to compete.
Talent is everywhere and EDI aims to ensure opportunity is too! At EDI we aim to shine the line on talent and provide platforms and opportunities for them to be seen and to see what is possible if given the opportunity.
Our programmes stretch attendees to step outside of their comfort zone; to explore beyond their current boundaries.
Opportunities are outside of your safe zone, so it is important to push past your fears and
just say YES to opportunities. Don’t worry if you don’t have all the answers, just be curious
and explore!
