The Impact Challenge is a week long work experience opportunity open to undergraduate students from a widening participation background.
Work with employers to solve real-life problems have the chance to learn and see first-hand how a local small or medium sized organisation operates and how you can make an impact to their business.
You will work in small groups on a project, set by a local employer, where each group then presents back their output(s) at the end of the week.
