Renishaw inspires female engineers with work experience scheme
The UK faces a skills shortage in the engineering sector and, according to EngineeringUK, the country will need 1.8 million new engineers and technicians by 2025. With the industry still dominated by men, it's essential that we attract more female engineers to fill these roles if we're to close the gap. Renishaw is taking a proactive role in promoting careers in engineering by running work experience schemes each year for students in years 10 to 13. Here Rebecca Bound, an Education Outreach Officer at the company, shares how Evie Ford, a student at Barnwood Park school, Gloucester, was inspired by the 2019 work experience week.
