I’ve just come across a new website – Big Ambition  that’s worth recommending to any 14-19 year-olds you know. It’s been created by e-skills uk, which works on behalf of UK employers to ensure the UK has the technology skills it needs to succeed in a global digital economy. Big Ambition’s aim is, according to its Twitter  bio, is to ‘to attract teenagers towards education and careers within the IT sector’.

Teens can submit technology articles, win work experience, explore digital careers and much more. There’s an ‘Apprenticeships’ section on the site too, which includes those offered by Microsoft Partners so again, if you know of anyone who might be interested – pass it on. Apprentices will be paid £100 pw for the first 10 months, as well as gaining a huge amount of experience and expertise to help them with their future careers.  

There are a few teens I know who I’ll be passing this onto…
