A range of employers from across the engineering sector, including Rolls-Royce SMR, the Institute of Highway Engineers and major local employer Booth Industries, took part in a careers fair at the University of Greater Manchester.
Students were able to meet industry professionals, explore potential career paths and learn more about employment and apprenticeship opportunities.
The University also welcomed students from Bolton College, part of the University of Greater Manchester Group, who attended to discuss progression routes and apprenticeship opportunities.
The event was organised by the University’s Careers team and the School of Engineering and the Built Environment.
Feedback from employers was positive, with one commenting: "The university students were really good to speak to and asked the right questions."
Julie Bateman, the University of Greater Manchester’s Director of Jobs for Students, said: “The engineering careers fair provided fantastic opportunities for students to connect with leading employers from the sector, at the same time strengthening links between the University and Bolton College.
“Well done to the Careers team for organising such a valuable event and thanks to all the organisations that helped to make it a success.”
The University’s Careers team has two events planned so far for 2027:
