Opportunities with Immarsat – employability event.

Posted on by

An opportunity to have an expenses paid trip to an employability event with Immarsat in London… Here is the message I received:

We have an exciting opportunity for your students that I wanted to make you aware of. Inmarsat, the world’s leading provider of global mobile satellite communications, are working with TARGETjobs on a bespoke employability event and they have specifically asked for your students to be there!

This event is perfect for your students who are studying computer science, IT, electrical engineering or any degree relating to telecommunications, space science or data science related degrees.

Attending this event will give your students the opportunity to:

• access all areas of Inmarsat’s global satellite control centre and network operations centre with VR experience included

• get stuck into a fun case study – great practice for assessment centres in an informal environment

• speak to graduates and senior members of the team at Inmarsat about the exciting projects they could be working on

• fast track their career and find out what makes a successful application by speaking to Inmarsat recruiters

Where is it?

Inmarsat HQ, London (we can reimburse travel expenses)

When is it?

We have two events coming up which will both focus on different subject areas (if a student cannot attend their best suited event, they can attend the other):

9 March

Computer Science

Data Science

Space Science and Robotics

20 April

Telecommunications

Electrical Engineering

In order to attend, students just need to fill in a quick registration form by visiting our Be Inmarsat website, and then I’ll get in touch with them.

Open to UGs, grads, and PhD students –

Data Science for Social Good Summer Fellowship – DSSGx

Following the success of last year’s Data Science for Social Good initiative, The Alan Turing Institute is again leading the UK 12-week summer fellowship, in partnership with University of Warwick and Imperial College London.

This year’s fellowship (DSSGx) will run from 15 June to 5 September at the University of Warwick campus, and offers a competitive stipend. DSSGx is an independently organised programme affiliated with the DSSG Foundation at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU).

DSSGx gives aspiring data scientists the opportunity to work on data mining, machine learning, and data science projects with social impact. Participants will work with global non-profit organisations and government bodies to make a real-world social impact with their data, by improving their services, interventions, and outreach.

You are invited to apply before 31 January 12:00 (CST).
