The campaign supports events and initiatives across the UK, which will give young people an inspiring experience of modern engineering and showcase the variety of career paths available.
We are a Year of Engineering partner and will be actively participating in engaging young people, teachers, youth groups and parents about the broad range of engineering careers and the opportunities available by:
- Providing engineering insight activities at our sites and with local schools and youth group
- Running an internal and external communication campaign with inspirational stories, role models and thought leadership
- Promoting the enormous range of engineering careers available, highlighting what a great career it is and helping to promote engineering career opportunities
- Working with a wide range of partners, including STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) outreach and Diversity & Inclusion specialists, with the aim of reaching a diverse audience (geography, gender, social background, disability)
Ian Beresford, our Group Director - Engineering & Operations, tells us why the campaign is important and exciting, and what engineering means to him:
