"Many students aren't aware of what a career in engineering actually looks like so it's great to talk to them about it especially when they then show a keen interest It can be quite rewarding "

Sarah Azamtu

"It was a really nice event with very bright and curious students who had questions on everything from chartership pathways to uni life. There was a panel discussion followed by lunch with the students where they had the opportunity to ask all the extra questions they were too shy to ask in front of their peers."

Peter Bates
