Organised by the IMechE and Professional Engineering, the one-day virtual exhibition and conference follows a hugely successful first event last year. The 2020 edition attracted over 3,000 registrations, putting them in touch with many of the UK’s leading engineering employers.
Looking to progress your engineering career from the comfort of your home? Here are five great reasons to attend EngRec 2021.
1. Give your CV directly to leading companies
How often do you get the chance to directly give your CV to employers that you know are actively recruiting engineers? In EngRec’s virtual exhibition hall, it couldn’t be easier.
Exhibitors include some of the biggest names in engineering – the Royal Air Force, BAE Systems and the National Grid are already confirmed. Hilti, which services the professional construction industry, will also be exhibiting.
2. Attend a free seminar programme
The Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted education and training since the start of 2020, posing a real challenge for students and trainee engineers. Thankfully, EngRec 2021 will have a range of expert speakers across a variety of sectors, covering critical topics to support anyone building or starting their engineering career.
The free seminar programme will take a deep dive into industries including aerospace, automotive, energy, manufacturing, biomedical, rail and construction, with potential topics including skills for the digital revolution, Covid-19’s impact on jobs, and collaboration in engineering.
Confirmed sessions so far:
· Welcome, industry overview and Q&A – IMechE
· Sustainability and what it means for the future – Coventry University
· Diversity and inclusion session – Women’s Engineering Society, AFBE and the IMechE.
