The image is an infographic from EngineeringUK with colorful, circular patterns on the right. It provides statistics: 16.9% of the engineering and technology workforce, 17% of apprentices, 18% of first-year undergraduates, and 12% of T Level students in these fields are women. The hashtag #IWD2026 is in the lower right corner.
Women are the most underrepresented group in the engineering and technology workforce. While the proportion of women is increasing, progress is slow, particularly for a sector that is growing faster than any other. There is still work to do. #IWD2026 www.engineeringuk.com/school-outre...
Nearly two thirds of girls said The Big Bang Fair increased their confidence in their ability to do a job in engineering (60%) or technology (66%) 70% of girls said The Fair improved their confidence in their ability to do a job involving science 51% of girls said that The Fair had motivated them to find out more about jobs in engineering, technology and science 70% of girls said The Fair made them more interested in a future job in engineering
