e awareness of our rewarding careers in schools\nFor me\, I only discovere
d the pharmaceutical industry when searching for industrial placements as
part of my undergraduate degree. My decision to continue studying maths wa
s fairly generic in that I was good at it at school and thought it was gen
eral enough to give me a few different career opportunities - although I w
as adamant I didn&rsquo\;t want to end up in teaching or finance. Any awar
eness of drug development I had would have come from science lessons\, and
never once had it crossed my mind that it was a field where maths skills
were widely used and sought after - alongside several other data centric i
ndustries.\nSchool outreach plays a vital role\nHowever not all students a
re encouraged to share the same passion and interest for maths that I did.
This is where school outreach activities can play an important role in he
lping to raise awareness of the many exciting opportunities for working wi
th data and inspiring the next generation to continue their studies in rel
evant subjects to allow them to do so.\nLearn about the benefits of school

s who make exceptional contributions to outreach throughout the year. List
en to reflections from our panelists of their real-life experiences of par
ticipating in schools outreach activities and the benefits they have found
from doing so.\nIf as a PSI community\, every member engaged in at least
one school's outreach activity per academic year\, we could reach an impre
ssive number of students and help to shape the future workforce of pharmac
