SEM’s CEO Maxwell Ayamba was among a number of guests invited to speak at a careers day event organised by Bank End Primary Academy School on 30th November 2023.

The school pupils were interested in the environment and how they can take action in times of climate change but also how to pursue a career in the environment. The pupils asked Maxwell how he got into the environmental sector and what motivated him to speak about the environment.
Being a predominantly white school, the pupils were excited to see a Black man working to raise awareness about the environment in a sector that is all white, and were curious about the work SEM does to engage young people into the environmental sector.
