Careers in Cyber Security: More than just technology

When you think of Cyber Security, lots of people think about technology and that you need to be technically minded. Learn how I left school wanting to work in accounting, started working in law, all before finding my love for Cyber Security and compliance.

Why Study Technology and Engineering?

Eight out of ten of the richest people on the planet have a stake in tech. Whilst we can’t guarantee you’ll also become a billionaire by studying tech at HE level, this talk will explore the wide variety of careers open to students thinking about pursuing computing or engineering at university. From electrical engineering to cyber forensics, games design to mechatronics, this workshop gives an overview of the requirements and practicalities of studying a tech course, and an insight into students’ options after university.

How to turn your phone into gold: the Smartphone Circular Economy

We create around 50 million tonnes of E-Waste each year, and our cast-off laptops, kettles and mobile phones are turning parts of the planet into e-waste dumps. When you consider only 20% of that waste is actually recycled it’s clear we need to do more … and fast.

This talk will give an introduction to working in a smartphone technology business and show how smartphone usage has changed dramatically through the Covid pandemic. The presentation will also show how Utelize is adopting principles from the circular economy to reduce it’s carbon impact.
