Rothamsted Research careers talk

Rothamsted Research visited KWS to talk to the Year 8 students about the work that is undertaken at the research centre.  The guest speakers, Susan and Rodrigo, provided an overview of all the fantastic work that is carried out at the centre:  How they are trying to tackle issues such as sustainable farming, and how to manage food production for an ever increasing population.  Rodrigo and Susan also talked to the students about their career path, how they ended up working in research, what a typical day would involve and what they enjoyed about this type of career.

This presentation was an opportunity for the students to gain an insight into the types of roles that are available related to STEM (science, maths, engineering or maths) careers.  We hope that this talk may have inspired some students to consider a STEM career path, particularly at Rothamsted Research, which is a big employer right on our doorstep.
