Our final in the PLACED Academy Insights, a series of free, informal Q&A events for young people interested in the built environment.

In this session, we'll be hearing from inspirational speakers talk about the decision to start their own business after identifying their strengths, values, what they enjoy and how they can make a difference. How did they overcome doubts, fears, challenges along the way? How do they feel about their journey now? What advice would they give? To end our series on a high, we hope these insights will demonstrate that if you put your mind to it, anything is possible!

What are PLACED Academy Insights?

PLACED are launching a new series of FREE events for people aged 13-19 interested in careers in design and the built environment.

At each event you’ll hear from inspirational speakers at all stages in their careers, from recent planning graduates to architects heading up national design practices. They’ll be representing exciting firms across the UK, working to design and create the towns and cities in which we live.

Our speakers will be sharing some of their work, telling you about their career journeys, talking about their successes and challenges and giving you some invaluable tips. There will also be opportunity to ask the questions you really want to find out the answers to.

We’ll debunk myths, challenge misconceptions and tell you about careers, pathways and opportunities that you may never have heard of!

The Academy Insights is brought to you by PLACED. For more details visit https://placed-academy.com
