The Women in Engineering Forum is an opportunity to hear successful female engineers talking about their careers and to network with inspirational women and potential employers over a buffet lunch.

In the University Challenge, teams from universities across the country will compete against each other to design, build and test their inventions in a challenging task. For those not taking part, even watching the teams in action is both educational and entertaining!

Jason Miller, Project Manager of the National Engineering & Construction Recruitment Exhibition, commented: “This exhibition provides an indispensable opportunity for those looking for their first step or those planning or researching their next career move to meet face-to-face with a large range of potential employers all together in one place. Add to this the many other helpful features and services available, a visit to NECR will be the most valuable and productive day of the year for many visitors.”
