Engineering the Next Generation brings to life the opportunities and challenges the sector in the UK faces, the changes in policy and long-term impact on the UK economy.
It showcases the work being done to attract future generations to engineering and the diverse range of jobs available in this sector. The programme also looks into how work experience and apprenticeships play a vital role in attracting the younger generation.
In addition, the news-style piece combines key interviews as well as stories from leading organisations. It will form part of an extensive communications campaign featuring industry partners, as well as relevant journalists, writers and bloggers.

Engineers are creators, inventors and innovators and we hope this programme inspires the next generation of talent, who will play a vital role in shaping our future.”
