In this episode we have a shared episode with the IOR’s Tip of the Iceberg podcast. Miriam Rodway talks to a student doing work experience at the IOR discussing how their views - and those of their friends - have changed about the sector and careers now they know more about refrigeration air conditioning and heat pumps. We talked about what kind of career advice young people receive in schools, what they think of engineering and what we can do to raise awareness of this sector. If you are unsure whether you should take on a student for a week's work experience, we hope this podcast will help convince you of how much value they can add!
