TCT Bright Minds UK Mentor Programme
Inspiring Tomorrow’s Engineers

Cheshire, UK, 21st July 2008: In a bid to inspire young engineers of the future, The TCT Magazine is delighted to announce the launch of the TCT Bright Minds UK Mentor Programme.

The aim of the TCT Bright Minds UK, based on a programme run by the SME in the USA, is to motivate and inspire a group of specially selected secondary school students — potentially tomorrow’s engineers — to enter a career in the world of engineering when they finish their studies.

This year, ten students, from King Edward VI College Stourbridge, will be invited to the TCT 2008 Conference & Exhibition, held at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry, 21/22 October, where they will each be assigned to a mentor. These industry experts will guide them through the exhibition explaining the various aspects of advanced design and manufacturing technologies, materials, processes and applications on show at the event. This will give students the opportunity to ask questions and learn from their mentors and the exhibitors . It is hoped that this opportunity will help influence the career options of the students involved and inspire young people to see engineering as an exciting and cutting-edge industry to work in.
