Engineering - Building your future: discovery workshop for girls, parents and teachers

WISE and Leeds College of Building have jointly organised a special event for girls, parents and teachers to meet young women who have chosen a career in engineering, find out what they actually do and why they love their jobs.

The morning will be highly interactive, giving girls a chance to talk to role models, find out about the different qualifications available, and meet prospective employers.

The event is targeted at girls aged 15-22 who have or are likely to achieve at least 5 GCSEs at Grade A*-C including English, Maths and at least one science subject. Girls who like finding out how things work, solving problems, are creative, great communicators and team players would do well in engineering and the built environment. An aptitude for Maths (ideally Grade B or above) and science obviously helps.

We can offer up to five places for girls from your  school/organisation plus one accompanying adult (parent or teacher). To confirm your places please email p.patel@wisecampaign.org.uk no later than Friday 28th February 2014. Spaces are limited so please book early to avoid disappointment. If you have any questions please get in touch with WISE on 01274 724009.
