Dear All, The University of Manchester Q-Step Centre is holding a celebration event on 20 November at the beautiful Whitworth Art Gallery to which you are invited. And please share in your networks. We’re keen to get externals along to this event which happens just once a year. Last year the roundtable event was a huge success, so we’re repeating it with more employers and students this year. The students will be talking about the paid work they did with the organisations that hosted them - ranging from City Councils to Government Departments, a bank (Santander) to The World Bank, third sector groups, social enterprises, think-tanks, polling and market research organisations as well at the BBC and The Times/ Sunday Times. Details at http://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/q-step-data-data-everywhere-tickets-19043596911 Programme below. The University of Manchester Q-Step Centre's 'Data, Data Everywhere' event is a celebration of the success of the Q-Step Summer Internships in 2015! It is time for the students of the Q-Step 2015 cohort to shine and to discuss, display and reflect upon their internship experiences. The event will bring together host organisations, members of the Q-Step team, senior management from the University of Manchester, prospective employers and Q-Step alumni in the convivial setting of the Grand Hall in the award winning Whitworth Art Gallery.
