Overview
Through Membership we are supporting and growing the collective impact of work across the sector to help young people understand what engineering is, how to get into it, and be motivated and able to access educational and training opportunities on the way.
Our Members play a fundamental part in inspiring the next generation and helping to deliver impactful engineering focused STEM engagement activities and opportunities at a national and strategic level. As part of this network of employers, they also benefit from insight and analysis together with strategic support and advice, backed up by a regular communications programme and profiling opportunities.
Employers participate at different levels and in ways that best meet their needs. What unites them is a fundamental belief that the UK needs more, and more diverse engineers and that a concerted, informed collective effort can make that happen.
Membership
We have a number of membership options to suit your organisation's needs. Members help us deliver impactful engineering focused STEM engagement activities at a national, regional and strategic level whilst drawing on and sharing our expertise, insights and knowledge.
Members are committed to promoting inclusion, diversity and equal opportunities in the profession as well as inspiring young people to choose careers in engineering by providing engaging outreach programmes.
Collaboration and collective purpose
For the engineering community to succeed in attracting the volume and diversity of young people the profession needs, it’s essential to work together to reach young people in ways that work best for them.
