Introducing WEX Tech Week
The Virtual Employability Week, hosted by Tech She Can in partnership with National Careers Week, is a free programme available to all Key Stage 3 students. The LIVE online sessions are designed to engage and inspire students aged 11–14, helping bridge the gap between education and employment by providing access to meaningful career experiences.
Why we've created it
Too many young people leave school without the confidence, skills, or awareness of the world of work they need to thrive. For those from less advantaged backgrounds, the gap between education and employment can feel vast - and access to meaningful careers experiences is rarely equal. Many schools simply lack the resources to bridge this gap. We want to change that.
What Students Will Experience
Overview of the week
Students explore AI, sustainability, digital creativity, health tech and future careers through flexible 2.5-hour sessions. Schools can take part for a single day or the full week. Each session includes live industry role models, interactive challenges and guided tasks that build key employability skills, with Skills Builder skills embedded throughout. Students can ask questions, take part in activities and earn a certificate for each session, while teachers receive clear daily briefings and delivery guidance.
