Students will hear from three geographers, Olivia, Suha and Lauren, who studied geography at university and are now pursuing careers in the built environment sector.
From working on the development of Heathrow's Third Runway, to property management and quantity surveying, speakers will share their career journey so far and talk about the importance of being a geographer in their industry.
This event is aimed at teachers and students studying geography at GCSE and A Level, and contributes to Gatsby Benchmarks 4 (linking curriculum learning to careers) and 5 (encounters with employers and employees).
This webinar is run in collaboration with the Built Environment Schools Trust's My Environment My Future programme dedicated to integrating built environment careers education into the geography curriculum.
