Abstract
You are invited to attend the dual launch of the 2016 IET Skills Survey, together with ‘Engineering Work Experience for All’, a new campaign championing the right of every engineering student to have access to practical experience in the workplace.
A large proportion of engineering employers are not satisfied with the practical and technical skills of school leavers and newly qualified graduates. The ‘Engineering Work Experience for All’ campaign is designed to rally employers, universities, Government and students to make a range of different work experience opportunities more widespread.
Of course, many employers and universities already collaborate to offer practical work experience and the event and wider campaign will be an opportunity to showcase this best practice that is already happening within industry and universities.
