As a recent university graduate, I can understand how it can feel like a bubble. You get stuck in a routine of attending lectures, going to seminars and study groups, as well as trying to balance a social life with your friends. It is an amazing academic experience, but it can often distance you from the real working world, especially for those seeking careers in STEM. That is exactly why you should be attending Pioneers of Tomorrow on Friday 24 July.

Pioneers of Tomorrow is Farnborough International Airshow's dedicated day for students, families and the wider public. It focuses on drawing in younger individuals and hopes to inspire the next generation of aerospace leaders and aviation enthusiasts. While the Airshow retains a traditional focus on trade and bigger industries, this day has tailored elements specifically for university students, graduates and anyone curious about the world of STEM.
 
Pioneers of Tomorrow is not like other academic days; you will not be sitting in a lecture hall for hours listening to people walk you through admin. At Pioneers of Tomorrow, you will be hands-on and getting stuck into the action through several interactives on offer. Including smaller group conversations with professionals across STEM careers, such as engineering, leadership and technology. You will get the chance to talk to the individuals behind the aerospace, defence and space sectors and grow your STEM career through practical guidance from the people who know it best. This day will be an eye-opening opportunity, allowing you to explore career paths that you would not encounter at any normal careers fair.

 
If you are a student excited to get into the world of STEM, currently studying it, or a grad student stuck on what to do, this is not an event to miss. The careers hub is like no other, with a live jobs board showing you what jobs are available with the exhibitors in attendance, from graduate schemes to full-time roles. There is no other event where you will be able to speak directly to industry professionals and ask them about careers and advice, enabling you to have genuine conversations and make connections.

As well as activities and the careers fair, Pioneers of Tomorrow also features a full flying display from the leading aircraft and technology in the world, providing you a front row seat to all the action! 

Whether you are an aviation enthusiast or just someone interested in the world of STEM, you should be at Pioneers of Tomorrow. An event like this can turn your STEM career aspiration into a reality. This event is designed to surround you with likeminded individuals and bridge the gap between students and the industry.
 
Farnborough is easily reachable from London, making it easily accessible to all students studying in the south. Even if you are not from the region, why not come for a trip? Bring your friends, course mates or family to experience the world of aerospace.
