  • It was an absolute pleasure to be back at Tata Consultancy Services - UK and Europe again last week! Such an incredible partnership and excited to continue working together in future years ✨

    The TCS Corporate Social Responsibility Team for UK and Ireland hosted an event in collaboration with Shadow to Shine, a youth employability charity in the UK. We welcomed 10 young people from underserved communities in London for a five-day immersive experience at our offices in London, UK. Throughout the week, participants attended masterclasses and panel discussions focused on the tech industry. They designed innovative tech solutions centred on creating a safer and more sustainable London, addressing key issues such as women's safety, homelessness, and sustainable transport. This initiative aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 11). A panel of esteemed judges evaluated their work, including Bex Perry, Digital Youth Work Development Manager at the National Youth Agency; Emma Cowdray, Head of Client Solutions at Wired Consulting; Simon F., CEO and Founder of the The Institute of Business Support Professionals; and Rifka Noronha, Head of Corporate Affairs UK and Ireland, Tata Consultancy Services. The event concluded with a celebration and presentations led by Korinna Williams, CEO of Shadow to Shine. This collaboration underscores TCS's commitment to empowering youth and fostering community engagement in the UK. #TCSEmpowers

    Very pleased that Shadow to Shine is partnering with Tata Consultancy Services for the 2nd year to offer a programme for young people who want to access the tech industry. This programme will explore a broad range of tech careers from AI, coding, UX, project management, or cybersecurity, design thinking, sustainability and more. Tech is such a HUGE industry with so many options outside of coding and we want young people to understand the possibilities for them. This is a week long course that includes project based work and a lot of hands on practice as well as networking opportunities with staff at TCS. Held during the October half term at TCS’s brand new office space in Bishopsgate. If you are a young person aged 17-23, or you know any young people that may be interested. Please encourage them to complete this form: https://lnkd.in/e6igfdd6 We are closing applications at the end of this week, so I strongly encourage people to apply asap. Huge thanks to Sharai-Raven Mae Kiera Noonan Amy Shocker for making this incredible programme come to life even better for a second year!
