How Aspiration Digital Made a Difference

"I think that the event was very insightful into learning about different career paths from digital media, the many different speakers showed many different ways that digital media could be the right career path for me and how it will shape the future."

BEN, STUDENT

“I’ve found today really useful for my future, because I’ve been in the middle, where I know what I want to do, but I don’t know if it’s right for me. But today, listening to all of the amazing people speak (I’ve loved their speeches!) has been useful to guide my way.“

NABHIA, STUDENT

“I found today brilliant for my students. There’s a massive range of opportunities for them to have their eyes opened to different digital careers. And as a teacher it’s just amazing to see them become more inquisitive and curious about what they want to do. And the opportunities here are fantastic.”

ANNA-MARIE, TEACHER
