Struggling to connect your social impact with your future workforce?
- Skills shortages are growing, especially in engineering and technology
- Reaching diverse, local communities is harder than it should be
- Net zero targets demand new talent and new skills
- Building meaningful outreach programmes takes time, resource and expertise
You don't have to solve these challenges alone
Turn your social value goals into measurable impact
Work with a trusted national partner to deliver high-quality STEM outreach that inspires young people and builds your future talent pipeline. We focus on the age it matters most (10- to 14-year-olds), when career aspirations are formed.
Our expertise in STEM education brings together insight, strategy and action to help partners meet their CSR, ESG and skills objectives while creating lasting impact. We combine evidence-based insight with hands-on experience: delivering everything from major national events to targeted outreach programmes.
We also help organisations shape their STEM strategies, share best practice and align efforts across sectors. We encourage STEM professionals to get directly involved through volunteering and outreach. Alongside this, we advocate for policies that broaden participation and strengthen the talent pipeline.
The support provided by EngineeringUK is unparalleled in my experience. Underpinning the relationship is a highly professional, achievement-oriented approach... proactively seeks out, considers and delivers upon opportunities to assist us. Additionally, the information that EngineeringUK shares is extremely valuable and delivered in a timely and accessible manner which is of great value to us at the Met Office.

Strengthens our relationship with the schools local to our 8 UK sites, and expands our engagement with new schools. This is such an important step in promoting STEM subjects to young people, who we hope will one day take up a career in engineering – perhaps at Leonardo!
