Women in Engineering at Derby College Group

We’re holding a flagship event to celebrate and promote women in engineering and demonstrate how engineering careers can open doors for everyone.

Taking place in our state-of-the-art Institute of Technology, on Wednesday 11 February (International Women in STEM Day), this event will bring together inspiring guest speakers, global engineering companies and industry professionals who will talk openly about:

• Why women are vital to the future of engineering
• The wide range of careers available
• Different routes into the industry, including apprenticeships, college courses and beyond
• How engineering skills can lead to exciting, lucrative and meaningful careers

You’ll have the chance to hear real stories, ask questions, and learn directly from people working in the industry today. There will also be hands-on activities for you to take part in, experience the state-of-the-art facilities, and learn more about the courses offered at Derby College Group.

Leading global and national engineering organisations, including Siemens Mobility, TÜV Rheinland, Network Rail, Porterbrook and Amey, will be joining us, alongside SheCanEngineer and Women in Rail, to share real-world insight, guidance and encouragement for all young people considering a career in engineering.

The event is open to everyone, whether you’re already interested and invested in engineering, curious about STEM, or simply want to explore future options.

Spaces are limited and booking is essential. Secure your place now to avoid missing out.

*Because women are underrepresented in engineering (recent sector data show women comprise less than 17% of the engineering and technology workforce), this event is part of our positive action commitment under the Equality Act 2010, and is designed primarily for women who want to learn about pathways into engineering, meet role models, and build confidence and networks, however everybody is welcome to attend.
