Release Date: 30 Sep 2024
EUK Education launches as a new brand from EngineeringUK, offering the teaching and careers community support to inspire more young people to get into STEM and the many diverse career paths available.
The new ‘one stop shop’ EUK site brings together STEM programmes and best free STEM education and career resources previously hosted by charity, EngineeringUK.
Head of Careers, Eleanor Eyre, commented “Teachers and career leaders are at the heart of everything we do. We know from our close work with schools and colleges the many challenges out there. We want to support you in the vital STEM work you do.
“We hope having all our fantastic free resources in one place from our new Climate Schools Programme, Energy Quest and careers and STEM resources will really help in your role of inspiring more young people into rewarding, interesting and lucrative STEM careers.”
EUK works very closely with the STEM teaching and career community through its Teacher Network made up of primary and secondary school teachers. The Network have helped on a variety of projects ranging from the design and content of classroom resources and the development of our bursaries to increasing collaboration between industry and schools.

Tomorrow’s Engineers Week, EUK’s annual celebration of engineering, science and tech, takes place once again between 11 to 15 November with the theme Power up your passion’ and is a fantastic opportunity for STEM engagement. The week-long campaign is about showing young people engineering isn’t just hard hats and construction but about problem solving, innovation, creativity and making a difference in a wide range of careers. Resources include ‘Day in the Life’ films on engineers to a panel where young people can chat to engineers and toolkits.
EUK aims to make STEM careers inspiration an integral and impactful part of every student's education and support educators to nurture the next generation of engineers and tech innovators.
