What do geographers actually do? - Webinar October 2026

Employers love geographers, but what is it that geographers actually do?

Our speakers will share their own individual education and career pathway, and the ways in which geography has equipped them with a wealth of skills and knowledge relevant to their jobs today. They will discuss how they use geography in their work, and how this geography has led to real-world impact.

This event is aimed at teachers and students interested in pursuing geography at GCSE, A Level and/or university. The event contributes to Gatsby Benchmarks 4 (Linking curriculum learning to careers) and 5 (Encounters with employers and employees).

Please note: The views of our speakers do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the Royal Geographical Society.
