Why EqualEngineers Pathways Programme?

Mentoring takes place over a year, and often continues until the student graduates. In the first 12 months, students also participate in a supporting programme of activities including:

In-person career insights and employability workshops.
Online programmes supporting students on work readiness, emotional intelligence, employability, and interpersonal skills development.
Work experience, placement, internship and graduate opportunities from engineering and technology partners.

The Pathways Programme is not just for Engineers. Many employers fill their engineering and other technical roles from a range of disciplines, particularly graduates of Computing, Mathematics and the Physical Sciences. This allows us to serve multi-disciplinary Schools or Faculties.

Why Mentoring Matters

We strongly believe that mentoring is the guidance for growth, confidence, and opportunity. Our programme connects students with professionals in engineering and technology, fostering relationships that often continue beyond graduation. Our aim is to ensure that every student can navigate their career path with the support and wisdom of experienced mentors.

What People Say About Our Programme

The thing I enjoyed the most was being able to communicate with a professional in the field I want to work in. It was fulfilling to have discussions about the key skills to have to excel in this industry of Motorsport engineering. Not only that, but it gave me a clear direction of what I need to do to progress and develop myself as an engineer.

Thanks to EqualEngineers I met a great diverse team at McLaren Racing. I was supported by my mentor throughout the programme and my last year of study. This will allow me to start my professional career easier and keep in touch with the wonderful people I have met. I recommend EqualEngineers to everyone because everyone supports continuous learning and everyone is respected.
