Thinking about a career in maths but worried it might be out of reach?

You’re not alone! Many people, even those in successful careers, sometimes question whether they truly belong. Maybe you’ve felt it yourself — like when you’re in a top set maths class and worry everyone else understands things faster, or when you’ve been given a leadership role and think, *“Did they pick the right person?”*

That feeling is called imposter syndrome, and the good news is, it doesn’t define your potential.

Join IFOA and APR LLP for a webinar that will give you practical tools to build confidence and embrace opportunities in technical careers. You’ll discover how to turn self-doubt into self-belief and see why you absolutely do belong in any career you set your sights on.

In this session, we’ll cover:

• Recognising and challenging imposter syndrome
• Strategies to boost your confidence
• Real stories from professionals who’ve been where you are

If you’re studying maths and want to explore how those skills could lead to an exciting career, this webinar is for you!
