?Be a Part of Engineering Construction? begins roadshow

‘Be a Part of Engineering Construction’ will travel the length and breadth of the country until the beginning of December. It will be visiting over 90 specialist STEM (science, technology,engineering and mathematics) secondary schools, delivering close to 200 performances, reaching more than 20,000 young people.

Miranda Hall, Head of Marketing and Communications at the ECITB said: “Research we have recently conducted showed that 48% of young people didn’t know what engineering construction was so we wanted to develop our educational programme to increase awareness of the sector and promote the benefits of an engineering construction career. There are a vast range of different career paths – it’s not all about manual work – and at a time when the UK is crying out for skilled people to help modernise our infrastructure, this roadshow should help to show the adults of tomorrow that there’s more to engineering construction than meets the eye.
