Nusrat Ghani MP has reflected on the amount of success that the engineering world has brought. He has also looked at the momentum that has been generated by the campaign. Research has been carried out over the first 6 months of the campaign and it all shows that the percentage of 7-11 year olds who would actually go as far to consider a career in engineering has risen by well over 56%.
This is a very heart-warming statement to the commitment that the industry has to offer and it also shows that they are more than willing to show what young people actually have to offer. This is especially interesting if you have a job in technical recruitment or even engineering recruitment. The success of the campaign has been forged and this brings a very meaningful legacy. When the government made the decision to launch the Year of Engineering, it's said that they did not start out with a blank sheet of paper at all. Against this backdrop, the Year of Engineering really is about uniting work and building on the already solid foundation. It is also about uniting and joining forces across the industry, and bringing new partners on board. It is all of this that has made everything possible.
What's even more interesting to know is that museums have even opened up new pioneering exhibits. Apple and Facebook have both worked to try and meet engineers for the very first time and Siemens have also tried to work with those around them to try and make sure that they get the support that they need. This is fantastic news to say the least, and it really does go to show that there is a demand out there that is yet to be met.
