Student Hub ( ESO )

I’m sure that a large proportion of you have been engaging with the employer events that have been provided as part of the central Festival of Careers 2020 over the last few weeks. I wanted to bring to your attention a number of events that are taking place in the coming weeks, the most relevant of which being the ‘Options in Engineering’ event this Wednesday 28 Oct 6.30-8.30pm.

All STEM-specific events, including the aforementioned event, can be found here: https://warwick.ac.uk/services/studentopportunity/festival/lineup/stemfactory/

Please do take some time to sift through and sign up for any and all that are of interest to you!

The CDK Dealer Tech university automotive competition is nearly here!

You can still sign-up to the kick-off day taking place via Zoom at 3pm on Friday 23^rd October here. [I am told that you can still sign up for other sessions if you have missed this one and it will be recorded to watch back!]

The competition is an opportunity for student teams to develop a technology product idea that can make a difference to the automotive retail industry. Launched by tech solution provider CDK Global, there is the opportunity for teams to win £3,000 in the university competition with winning teams having the chance of winning a further £10,000 in a national final taking place in May next year.

To help prepare teams ahead of building ideas, CDK Global is also launching 3 masterclass sessions to run shortly after the launch day. These are run by experts at CDK and will provide you with the tools to build a successful product idea. Please register for these 1 hour sessions using the links below:
