Year 12 Media Studies students from KEVI went to Newcastle to learn all about future jobs in digital technology. They attended a conference called Aspiration Digital, which took place at Newcastle University Business School on November 4. Hundreds of students from around the North East came to the event.

Speakers from many different jobs gave talks, including people from universities, the government and the army. The army team showed how digital technology helps them work out in the field.

Students also visited a careers fair. They talked to different employers and universities to help them decide what to do after finishing school at age 18.

The day finished with a live recording of a podcast called Behind the Future. The podcast team interviewed a top media planner who helps famous brands like Apple and Coca-Cola plan their big product launches.
