Progression with subjects that lead to
engineering in Post-16 education has
little to do with prior attainment.
-
What is preventing young people from
pursuing subjects that lead to
engineering in post-16 education?

A complex systems challenge

-
There are major policy barriers…
-
• Shortages of teachers
• Limited (or no) subject-specific teacher CPD
• Curriculum focused solely on knowledge acquisition
• Significantly increased content in STEM curricula
• Synoptic linear assessment (external exams) favouring particular
students
• Accountability measures focusing on academic progression
• Funding system creating perverse incentives
-
STEM is unhelpful

A new approach to broadening the
talent pipeline
-
A marketing-led approach
Key features
• Start from the audience – understand their interests, their passions
• Show how engineering can be a way for them to pursue those interests
• Young engineers doing a range of jobs, at all levels
• High quality films to counter narrow perception of engineering
• Market through the channels they consume and trust
-
The largest engineering campaign you’ve never heard of…
To date
• 35 Million views of the videos across social media platforms
• 1 Million shares, likes, retweets etc.
• Targeted advertising - 90% of audience are in the target 13-19 age group with 50:50 gender viewing
