Our network of educators
Teachers are at the heart of our mission. Our network of educators, career leaders and SENCOs help ensure the programmes we run and the resources and activities we develop have a real impact.
The network helps us understand the ways they connect with young people, especially those from groups that research shows are less likely to go into engineering and tech careers.
Our members enjoy the benefits of connecting with fellow educators, influencing STEM engagement and shaping the development of new educational programmes and resources. And because we know time is precious, we send our teachers a £30 voucher every time they attend a session.
We first launched our teacher network in 2020 and since then teachers have helped us on a variety of projects. These range from the design and content of classroom resources and the development of our bursaries to increasing collaboration between industry and schools and advising on our programme timings, so they fit with the school cycle. Also in the past year the teacher network has help advise on the Gender pathways project, fed back to curriculum bodies, and contributed to the EngineeringUK School report research series.
The EUK Education teacher network is made up of 12 members from across primary and secondary schools who meet virtually once every half term, with meetings scheduled around their availability, typically after school for 90 minutes.
These meetings are a great opportunity for you to share your insights, exchange ideas and shape EUK Education’s work, while contributing to the wider STEM education landscape.
We are currently recruiting for our teacher network. We are looking for secondary and primary teachers in STEM and non-STEM subjects, as well as careers leads and special educational needs and disabilities coordinators (SENDCOs).
Apply by Monday 7 JulyBeing a member of the teacher network has enabled me not only to develop my own personal knowledge of resources and areas of focus within engineering, but also to work with teachers across the country and see how other schools and teachers are working towards the same goal of developing student knowledge and experiences.

The speakers attending the meetings and resources have been really informative and allowed the network to have a say in future resources which has been really helpful when accessing them. A fantastic working group that I can highly recommend, to support not only personal development but also that of students and staff across the engineering family.
