Webinar SeriesDuring COVID-19 lockdown, Edu-Cater Global developed a free webinar series based on a range of topics showcasing a life cycle / journey of a STEM role model; the various topics were covered by a role model in STEM or a subject matter expert. The webinars lasted for six months and had diverse audiences attend from various countries across the world.
The series commenced the lifecycle journey with topics relevant to a GCSE student, for example the challenges and pressures behind selecting the ‘right’ GCSEs, all the way through to topics related to career breaks and pensions relevant to working professionals.
Each session aimed to provide insights to the decisions our role models have made, challenges they had to overcome and any hints and tips they may have for our audience.
