by Tim Golden Dec. 1, 2017

Dec. 1, 2017

Python People of the UK... or at least of London... We're at Forward Partners who are hosting our December London Python Dojo. We'll start at 6.30pm with pizza and drinks and a chance to mingle. Then we'll choose a challenge to meet, team up to do it, and meet again an hour or so later to compare solutions. At the end we'll be drawing names for a random Python book courtesy of the always-generous O'Reilly. Tickets are available here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/publish?crumb=b8ca220d50a433&eid=40837005583 If you need any more information, contact the team via Twitter: @ldnpydojo or via e-mails to team at ldnpydojo.org.uk If you're interesting in helping the Cat-Herding Dojo team, or if your company's willing to host one of our Dojos, please let us know as well. See you on December 7th TJG

Fwd: [FooCampers] For STEM folks in the UK
by Harry Percival Nov. 21, 2017

Nov. 21, 2017

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Suw Charman-Anderson <suw.charman(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, 21 Nov 2017, 19:29 Subject: [FooCampers] For STEM folks in the UK To: A mailing list for Foo Camp alumni <foocampers(a)foo.oreilly.com> Hi all, I'm running an *online careers fair for women in STEM in the UK* early next year, and would really love to get a few more employers on board. I'd be grateful if you could forward this email on to, or do intros to, any STEM companies you think might be interested. We already have ARM, the European Patent Office, Accenture and Capgemini committed, alongside The IET who'll be talking to participants about ongoing professional development. And we have 20 universities involved, including The Open University, Oxford, York, Edinburgh, Bath, Aberystwyth and St Andrews amongst others. You can see the full list here: https://findingada.com/careers/ Whilst the tech behind online careers fairs isn't the least bit new, there aren't many of them around, so in brief, the advantages for employers are: - Access to candidates from across the UK and across STEM - Online event means maximum flexibility for recruiters - More cost-effective than traditional recruitment fairs - Allows for quality conversations by video, audio or text with motivated candidates The fair will run from 9am to 5pm on Thursday, 1 February 2018, and will be hosted online at https://findingada.gointro.io/ There’s an overview for employers here: https://findingada.com/careers/employer-info/ I'm happy to provide a 50% discount to any friends of FOO who are interested. Even if your own company isn't hiring, please do have a think about who you know who might be. We just need a couple more businesses on board before the end of the year! Many thanks, Suw ---- findingada.com chocolateandvodka.com suw.charman-anderson.com LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/in/suwcharman> AIM: SuwCA Twitter: @Suw <http://twitter.com/suw> _______________________________________________ FooCampers mailing list FooCampers(a)foo.oreilly.com http://foo.oreilly.com/mailman/listinfo/foocampers_foo.oreilly.com -- -- Harry Percival +44 78877 02511
