2026 has so far been an amazing year for collaborations, offering more unique experiences for the young people we support. During the Easter holidays, we partnered with PepsiCo for a careers workshop at their Beaumont Park location.
Young people met with PepsiCo employees to discuss career pathways, with each employee sharing the unique ways in which they found work. Their stories taught the group that everyone’s career journey is different, and it is important to stay open to new opportunities.
The group also explored the diverse range of skills and personalities a company needs to thrive. Through a personality-themed activity, they discovered how their individual traits could apply to the world of work, showing that everyone has a place.
This workshop wasn’t all discussion, however. The group got some hands-on experience in PepsiCo’s Consumer Research and Product Development departments.
Young people got to craft their own granola blends, as well as taste-test a variety of different crisps – all while exploring customer-needs a food company may consider while making their products.
Thank you so much to the team at PepsiCo Beaumont Park for such an engaging and inspiring day. The workshop was the highlight of our young people’s Easter holidays, and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
