Virtual Employer Encounters were popularised throughout the pandemic to support school-age students to access careers education whilst learning remotely. 

This unique, scalable and accessible method of offering insights into a range of sectors, companies and roles soon expanded for learners of all ages and career stages. 

A Virtual Employer Encounter could involve: 

  • Interviews and Fireside Chats with employers and recruiters from sectors that interest you 

  • Insights into ‘a day in the life’ of an employee 

  • Snapshots of company and industry culture and development opportunities 

  • Practical tasks to align your strengths to the job and spot potential skills gaps
