Meet the Speakers – UK Engineering Careers Event 2022
On Thursday 22nd September, we are running our UK Engineering Careers Event! Taking place on our virtual events platform, this event is perfect for students and graduates studying a STEM (science, technology, engineering, or mathematics) related course and looking to start a career in engineering.
We have 17 fantastic exhibitors signed up to this event, all looking to network with attendees, promote their roles and inspire the next generation of women in tech. During the day, 4 employers will also be presenting live sessions, with some also sitting on our panel discussion.
Speakers will talk about their personal experiences of working in their industry, the exciting opportunities available at their company and what graduates can expect when applying for roles!
