"I joined Arup 2 years ago after working in the rail industry for over 12 years. I support clients with specialist technical activities, often within a large team. My engineering background helps me solve complex problems, but it is my ability to engage with people that allows me to get my job done."
📌 Life chances post-COVID: How can we unleash everyone's potential? - TortoiseThinkIn
Wednesday May 20, 1-2pm
Last year, a government report into social mobility showed that children whose parents are in professional roles such as law or medicine are 80% more likely to go into a profession than those without.
The coronavirus has reignited a conversation about fairness, not least following the cancellation of GCSEs and A-levels, forcing us to relook at how we judge and measure 'achievement' and 'potential'. Whatever your background, join us to share your experiences whether discrimination, perseverance or triumph. What do you think needs to change to level the playing field?
We'll hear from Brian Gilvary, who came from a working-class background in Liverpool to become Chief Financial Officer of bp, an organisation of over 70,000 and Tokunbo Ajasa-Oluwa, CEO of Career Ready, an organisation that works across the UK to open up the world of work to young people who face disadvantage in education and employment.
