Brand-new resource available for careers leaders
We’ve launched a brand-new careers resource to support Careers Leaders! The new guide helps you inspire students from all backgrounds to pursue careers in engineering and technology.
Developed in collaboration with our Careers Working Group, the free resource highlights tips to make STEM careers accessible, meaningful, and exciting for young people.
Learn how to break down barriers and avoid stereotypes, encouraging students from all backgrounds to see engineering and technology as an exciting career option.

The Careers Working Group includes careers inspiration experts from a UK secondary school, STEM Learning, UCL Engineering, the Royal Academy of Engineering, the Institute of Physics, BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT, the Institution of Civil Engineers, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and the Institution of Engineering and Technology. Our careers team also worked closely with the Careers & Enterprise Company and incorporated feedback from real careers leaders in schools.
