I hope you have all enjoyed a peaceful and joyful festive break. For those of you who havenÂt yet heard, I wanted to share some exciting news. This year will see the largest scale campaign celebrating and showcasing engineering that the UK has ever seen!
The campaign will see government join forces with industry to give thousands of young people direct and inspiring experiences of engineering throughout 2018.
The campaign will be kicking off with a week of launch activity
from 15-19 January.
We want employers to be part of launch week, whether that's by running your own
event, sharing stories of meaningful, surprising and creative engineering via
social media, or engaging with local media to let them know how you'll be
inspiring the next generation of engineers in 2018.Â

ThereÂs even a video that
explains more about the campaign here https://youtu.be/hJATC_LJuK0
IÂd love to talk to anyone who would like to get involved with local events in the Midlands or would welcome some support in putting a plan together on how they could get involved. Please drop me a line at efryc@engineeringuk.com
Happy New Year and Happy Year of Engineering!
