EngineeringUK launched the blueprint for action titled 40 by 40: Gender equity in engineering and technology education on behalf of the Gender Pathways collective.

We are a not-for-profit that drives change so more young people choose engineering and technology careers. We don’t have enough engineers and demand is going up. So, we need more young people to realise there could be a future for them in engineering and technology. Many of them don’t understand what engineering is, what the opportunities are and the different ways to get into them. We have to do something to change that. To really thrive, we need a stronger, more representative workforce and for that we have to do things differently to make engineering more attractive. We want more young people to see engineering could offer them a varied and rewarding career. We work with hundreds of organisations so we can all grow the future talent pool together. We need more people and more diversity and we all have a part to play in achieving that. We bring together everything we offer schools under EUK Education. The EUK Education mission is to make it quick and easy for schools to access high quality science, engineering and technology careers inspiration.
