The engineering sector employs a significant proportion of the overall UK workforce. In 2016, just under one in five (18.9% – or 5.66 million) people in the UK workforce were working in an engineering organisation.*

Society today places a huge range of demands on the engineering community, from the desire for ever more sophisticated consumer goods to the challenges imposed by the need for clean forms of power and transport. Faced with these demands, engineering industries in the UK are continually seeking professional engineers with high levels of expertise and skills.
