Abstract

Dan was inspired to become an engineer after going to an open day at Rolls-Royce. Now he’s completed his apprenticeship there and is well on his way towards his dream career in engineering.

But he couldn’t have done it without the IET Engineering Horizons Bursary, which helped him buy a computer to use for study and practice his CAD skills. He says that this has helped to make him a better engineer.

The IET Annual Dinner helps to fund the Engineering Horizons Bursaries and Diamond Jubilee Scholarships programme. Book your ticket to help more young engineers like Dan achieve their dreams. www.theiet.org/annualdinner
