It has been put together by EngineeringUK and is aimed at engaging young people in a career in the engineering sector, which makes up nearly 20 per cent of the workforce.
Research from EngineeringUK shows that young people who have taken part in a STEM careers activity are three times more likely to consider a career in engineering. However, only 13 per cent of young people took part in any formal STEM related careers activity during the Covid-19 lockdown.

Teachers are key to this and must be supported to deliver impactful experiences even in these challenging circumstances.
