The Engineer Online

Dear Colleague,

Current research shows that as many as 7 out of 10 newly graduated SET students are lost, every year, to alternative careers. The most common reason for this is negative perception and lack of awareness of what a career in science, engineering and technology can really offer.

As a committed stakeholder in the UK engineering and innovation industry, The Engineer Group is dedicated to engaging and informing, existing and prospective engineering students. Whether you represent a university, a large, medium or small sized company, government representative or a service provider, engaging the future leaders of our industry has to be of paramount importance.

In May 2006, The Engineer and the ETB launched Technology Horizons, a joint initiative created to address the issue and bring more young talent into the sector to address the growing skills gap. Technology Horizons takes the form of a magazine and website targeting the vitally important 18 – 25 age group of SET students and early stage professionals with lively and compelling content that presents the real value of a career in science, engineering and technology.

As a leading employer you will recognise the importance of this initiative – you may not currently face a problem recruiting at this level, but many of your suppliers and partners do.

Be it informative summits for graduates, recruitment campaigns, awarding fields of excellence or even explaining the engineering career path we are looking for partners in all sectors. If you would like to find out more about what we are doing or want to discuss some new ideas then we would be delighted to do so.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Andrew Rees
