It was wonderful to meet with potential future engineers at Roundhay School’s STEM event last week!

Abbie and Ewan advised school students aged 13-18 on what steps they should take after leaving school, and informed them of the many options available in the civil engineering and construction industry

Since the event, the school has informed us that:

• 94% of pupils said it made them think about their career interests and aspirations
• 100% said it increased their understanding of the different roles available
• 85% said they are now considering a specific career in the Manufacturing & STEM sector
• 88% said it has inspired them to consider an apprenticeship
• Students said our visitors were approachable, very informative and boosted their self-belief

We are thrilled to be broadening the minds of young people in Leeds, and hopefully inspiring them to consider a career in civil engineering. Could we have met with a future member of the Howard Civil Engineering team at this fair? Watch this space!
