“Whilst I accept that not everyone will have the pleasure of securing a placement through such an experienced and dedicated foundation, my message is to simply go out there and try it. The only way to be sure that Engineering is for you is exposure. Show your skills to the companies that are desperately in need for hardworking, capable students and in return they will provide you with the experience. Having now experienced the world of Engineering myself, the only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner.”
