Why it's important
It is essential that we inspire the next generation of industrial engineers and innovators to ensure we have the right skills to thrive in the future.
By providing educational products, inspirational learning content and immersive skills development opportunities, we help young engineers and technologists embark on exciting future careers.
We also support our communities to improve people's lives and inspire future generations, while creating a more sustainable world. We do this by enabling and empowering our people to make a meaningful difference in their local communities through our local giving fund and two paid days to volunteer every year.
