Anesu Chivenga, STEM ambassador and Project Management Degree Apprentice at Rolls-Royce said this about the Big Bang Fair
“The Big Bang Fair is a great opportunity to show my face to young people. I am a firm believer that you have to see it to be it. Seeing someone like me a normal girl from Birmingham and saying that I work in Rolls-Royce really shows that you can as well”
