Our Future of Energy workshops give high school students from black and ethnic minority backgrounds a live, behind-the-scenes look at the wide-ranging, impactful careers available in green energy ✨ We wanted to tell you a little more about our latest one 🗣 Over two exciting days, a brilliant group of students visited our London HQ to hear directly from Octopus experts about Net Zero energy, their important place in the green energy future as well as invaluable career advice. Next, they took a day trip to our green R&D centre in Slough for a peek at our top secret green heat research, a state-of-the-art Electric Vehicle showcase 🚙 ( a super quick Tesla drive through Slough). We ended the workshop with a careers fair including over 25 different career fields in green energy from tech to engineering, where the students got to ask any and all questions to trailblazers in their fields 👩🏾🏫. Our team had a blast and we're so proud to hear great feedback from many of the students attending too 🙌🏾 If you, or a group of students you know, would love a Future of Energy workshop, drop us an email at [email protected] 🌱 #octopusenergyequalityfoundation #oeef #antiracism #sustainability #climatejustice
