Do you dream of a career in tech?
Ever wondered what it would be like to work at a company like Google, Facebook or Apple, on the cutting edge of tech? You're not alone. With a growing number of roles available and excellent salaries on offer, the tech industry represents the future and everyone wants in.
So, what are the options and how do you land a role?
The course you take and the university you attend plays a big part in the decision making process for many tech recruiters. There are many universities in the UK and US that are particularly popular with students aiming for a career in tech, so it's worth understanding your options in order to make the right choice.
In this on-demand webinar, we explored the best courses and universities on offer and how they can help propel you into the tech career you've been dreaming of.
Anika Yasmin, MIT Alumna and current Mechanical Engineer at Apple, joined us to help you discover the options available and reveal her own success story.
In this webinar we covered:
- Why you should consider a career in tech
- A focus on two of the most popular career pathways; data scientist and mechanical engineer
- The best course to consider in both the US and the UK
- How the broader experience of a top university can help shape your future
- Anika's journey to MIT and how she became a Mechanical Engineer at Apple
How Crimson can help
Applying to top US universities is a difficult and stressful task which is why so many students seek external support.
Each of our programmes are tailored to the student and are delivered by a carefully selected team of mentors who provide focussed support with each and every aspect of the process - from university selection to essay writing and SAT preparation.
By signing up for this webinar you will get a 1:1 university strategy meeting for you and your child with one of our expert Academic Advisors. They will review your child’s academic and extracurricular profile, provide tailored guidance as to suitable university pathways and outline what they need to do to achieve their goals.
