XMA already support the CBI’s employability initiative and Guy Bates from XMA recently coached a group of PhD students as part of the Digital Economy YES Programme’s (Young Entrepreneurs Scheme) in business planning, supporting each group’s business concept and preparing them for their Dragons’ Den style interviews for funding.
As a STEAM ambassador, Guy has also recently supported a joint project with the University of Nottingham to promote careers in science, technology, engineering and maths.
