TMT Schools Challenge
Challenging Future Industry Leaders –our Predictions schools challenge was created to excite, educate and engage young people about the possibilities of working with and in the wonderful world of Technology, Media & Telecommunications. This webpage is for those that are considering a career in these sectors and want to understand more, and for those that work in the industry and would like to share their knowledge and experiences.
What is the Schools Challenge?
An annual challenge set by our Technology, Media & Telecommunications (TMT) team is all about developing young people’s skills and opening their eyes to the opportunities and possibilities in the wonderful world of TMT. We pair sixth form students with Deloitte mentors and some of our largest clients. We then set them with the challenge of coming up with an innovative service, disruptive content or a new hardware product based on current industry trends. At the Grand Final, the three best teams present their ideas to a panel of industry experts and a supportive audience of TMT professionals. A winner will be crowned, but with experience of giving a big presentation, connecting with some of the world’s biggest TMT brands and all the learnings that come with it…there are no losers!
The schools participating in the challenge are based all over the UK and are part of our 5 Million Futures programme, in collaboration with Teach First.
