Events
The easiest way to judge this is to come to something.
Four kinds of gathering, set out roughly in order of how much each one asks of you.
What we run
They differ mainly in how much they ask of you.
Start anywhere. Most people begin with a roundtable, but nothing requires it.
Roundtables
An open conversation, with nothing to sign.
Sector discussions anyone relevant can attend. You leave with a view of the problem, not a proposal.
Briefings
A closer look, built for your side of the table.
Sessions for one audience at a time — employers, universities, mentors — covering how the work would actually run for them.
Onboarding
Where you actually begin.
Working sessions for people who have decided to start: scoping a brief, preparing a cohort, being matched as a mentor.
Collaborations
Events we run with someone else.
Co-hosted with partners, universities and government bodies, and named as theirs as much as ours.
No roundtables are scheduled at the moment.
When one is, it will be here. If there is something you think ought to be discussed, tell us — that is often how they start.
If none of this fits
You do not have to wait for an event.
The first step is a conversation about where you sit and what you need. It commits you to nothing.
