A long term partner of Catalyst, Bank of Ireland UK have been involved in a number of their entrepreneurial programmes including Generation Innovation and Invent, celebrating local innovation. With a number of years participating in the Belfast and virtual editions of Generation Innovation, we were delighted to extend our support of the programme to even more locations across the region.
What is Generation Innovation Work Experience Programme?
Generation Innovation is a one-of-a-kind work experience programme designed to empower, enable, and upskill young people for the workplace of tomorrow. With its foundations grounded in the principles of Design Thinking, Generation Innovation is a programme that gives young people a real-world working experience with some of the most innovative companies making a dent in the universe.
This programme is for all 17-18-year-olds interested in accelerating their career development, gaining awareness of the skills needed for tomorrow’s world, and building an innovation mindset through Design Thinking training.
During the programme, students will be paired with innovative employers, such as Bank of Ireland, and will learn how to work as part of a new team. Their skills will be put to the test to solve a real-life company challenge, developing a solution before pitching it to the partner company and fellow peers.
Who is it for? Anyone aged 17-18
How much will it cost? Nothing! It’s free to attend!
When will it happen? The programme takes place in June
