How we can help you
We know all about careers in engineering and technology. From the skills employers want and where the jobs will be in the future, to all the career pathways in engineering and tech across the UK.
It’s important you have the latest workforce insights, an up-to-date understanding of the different jobs and the sectors they’re in. We can help with that. We can also talk about salaries, hard and soft skills and what it’s like to work in these industries. So, if you want info on engineering apprenticeships, examples of STEM careers or want to know what civil engineers do, we can help.
We can also help you find top notch activities to include in a careers programme. We run our own programmes but also a range of showcase in person and online activities for both primary and secondary schools. Find workshops, trips, speakers, competitions, events and projects that are right for your school. They all include careers elements to raise aspirations and bring careers to life.
We are experiencing a lot of interest in engineering careers from our year 11 students. They have responded really well to the booklets given out so far, and they have supported conversations at home with parents.
