Format
The sessions will be run as Zoom Webinars. This means your camera and microphone will not be enabled, and you will only be able to communicate with the hosts and panellists via typing your questions in the live Q&A box.
You will be able to access the sessions via any internet-enabled device and will not require any microphone, webcam, or Zoom account to participate.
Joining details will only be sent via email to those with a confirmed place.
Eligibility for the Webinars
To apply for this programme, you must be in Year 12 and attend a state school or sixth form college in the West Midlands (including Coventry and Warwickshire, Clare's Link Areas).
We hope to offer as many students as possible a place on these webinars. However, if we have more applications than places available, we will prioritise students who meet Widening Participation criteria.
