    I had the pleasure of hosting 2 data days, with Digdata, GSK and CACI. Seeing the impact these days have in inspiring the next generation to make their future careers decisions, is invaluable. What the students gain is not only an insight into careers in data, but also the key soft skills they need throughout their chosen careers, from teamwork and communication to networking. Watching the students come alive throughout, and gain confidence in what they are doing, is incredible to be a part of!

    The Digdata and Lloyds Banking Group Careers Challenge was a fantastic, enriching experience for our pupils, and we all had a great day. Communication with Rachel was excellent, and she was incredibly thorough in her organisation of the event. Pupils were given opportunities to develop core skills such as communication, teamwork, problem solving, self-management and self-belief. All the visiting facilitators were engaging, prepared, helpful and supportive. They had a lovely rapport with the pupils. We will be booking again for next year!

    We have worked with Digdata for several years and find the resources and delivery to be excellent - providing real world context whilst enabling students to develop transferable skills. Students are more confident and competent as a result. Rachel has brilliant organisation skills, magicking up volunteers, who bring inspirational experiences and open the eyes of students to potential career pathways that many would not have considered prior. There is excellent communication from enquiry to delivery and Rachel ensures you get everything you need.
