About the speaking slots: Every speaker will have 20 minutes to talk. All talks are online. All talks will be recorded. Once you apply to speak, we will then book a call with you to discuss what you would like to talk about. We have found this is the best way to ensure speakers get the most out of their 20 mins in front of the schools.

What is National Careers Week: It’s a week-long, nationwide movement (a CIC) dedicated to providing opportunities for young people to gain insight into real job roles and pathways from creative employers through online and in-person events. ERIC’s event series is expected to be one of the biggest contributors to the month, with over 80 employer talks and over 25,000 students expected to attend throughout the week.

More about the schools & students attending: This event is targeted at all schools & colleges. The age range of people attending is expected to be mostly between 14-18, however there are likely to be some students attending under the age of 14 as it's an open event.

Privacy on the webinar: The event guestlist is closed and attendees are not allowed microphones or cameras on. This is to protect the privacy of the students and staff. There will be a Q&A box open for people to ask questions - this is also private so only hosts & speakers will be able to see the questions.

Everything is being recorded: Every talk will be recorded and put up on the ERIC YouTube channel after the event for people to watch on-demand. An email will be sent out to everyone who registered for the event when the videos are ready to watch.
