“ Inspiring the next generation of engineers is something I ’ m very passionate about , especially when it comes to tackling greater diversity in the industry . By working with High Tide , we can continue to do just that , and hopefully keep talent on Teesside .”
Kirsten Donkin , head of PR , marketing and communications at PD Ports , says : “ Together with other key businesses from across the Tees region , we have a shared purpose to help young people achieve their future ambitions .
“ For young people aspiring to build a career and anxious about the future , it ’ s important they are given the opportunity to experience working life and be inspired by positive role models who can share life experience about potential careers and pathways to development .
“ Together , we can open a world of opportunity they wouldn ’ t otherwise know existed .” Andrew Gilmore , a chartered financial planner , believes he would have benefited from the sort of experiences and guidance offered by High Tide when he left school and college after being “ lucky ” in landing his role with Active Financial Planners .
“ A bit of guidance at that age and an insight into different sectors would have been very useful and could make a huge difference for a lot of students ,” he says .
