Transcript

work experience (London & Bristol)

By completing work experience for one week at JET, students have the opportunity to learn about the Technology industry, through discovering roles and responsibilities within Product & Tech and learn more about their own preferences when it comes to future careers and working environments.

Students spend a week within our P&T teams, with three and a half days consisting of joining meetings, workshops, panel discussions and talks with volunteers across various roles at JET.

They will also have the opportunity to work more closely with a P&T team of their choice, such as Engineering or Data for a full day of work shadowing/activities.

We were a key sponsor of Black Tech Fest, held on October 9, 2025, at Drumsheds in London.

The event attracted over 5,000 attendees, with a strong focus on diversity, notably including 56% women in attendance.
Our dedicated exhibition booth saw continuous foot traffic throughout the day. JET ambassadors were on hand to connect directly with attendees, generating significant interest in current and future tech roles at our company.

We hosted a series of popular CV Workshops where pre-registered attendees received direct and personalised feedback from our Talent Acquisition teams, providing tangible value and strengthening our recruitment pipeline.
