Why EDI matters
Recruitment challenges
As the demand for skilled engineering professionals grows, many organisations face increasing recruitment challenges. Lots of young people are still unaware of the diverse career opportunities in engineering or the pathways available to them. EngineeringUK addresses this by actively promoting engineering careers and the routes in. We do this by building awareness and creating programmes that inspire young people from all backgrounds – helping them become the future workforce we need for the UK to thrive.
