Anisha Roberts: A female apprentice’s inspirational journey into the world of engineering

In celebration of International Women in Engineering Day (INWED), Enginuity, the charity dedicated to closing the skills gap in engineering and manufacturing, proudly shares and celebrates the contributions of women engineers across the UK. By spotlighting inspiring stories and achievements of female engineers, Enginuity aims to encourage more women to pursue careers in engineering, thereby bridging the gender gap in this traditionally male-dominated field. This celebration is part of a broader campaign to highlight the significance of women in engineering, encouraging a future where engineering is a career path open to all, regardless of gender. The story of Anisha Roberts is the perfect example.

Anisha’s journey into a career in engineering is a testament to the power of inspiration and determination. Her story is particularly significant as she is a recognised figure in the Enginuity Skills Awards, having achieved double recognition for her outstanding contributions and performance in 2023: Anisha was awarded the SME Apprentice of the Year award, for being an inspiration to anyone looking to change their career and pursue a role in engineering, and the Best of British award, for her passion and advocacy on the role that an apprenticeship can play in changing one’s life.
