Engineering Career FAQs & Insights
Is there something you’d like to know about engineering careers? Maybe we can help!
What engineering careers could YOU do?
Engineering is the ‘E’ in STEM. You don’t always need a degree to get into engineering careers! You could do anything from working with drones to helping to create smart cities and houses!
Get into STEM with digital careers
Digital careers put the ‘T’ (for technology) into STEM. Digital careers are open to everyone, with loads of paid training available like apprenticeships. Again, you don’t need a degre – you have lots of options including BTECs and T-Levels.
Science careers can change the world
Science careers put the ‘S’ into STEM. Our career guides explore health AND science, because the world of health is often very science-related. There are multiple routes into a science career that sometimes don’t require you to have a degree.
