Awards and events

Young Woman Engineer of the Year Awards

Our award-winning YWE Awards celebrate inspirational women working in modern engineering – and aim to help change outdated perceptions of engineering being a career solely for men, or one where you have to wear hard hats and dirty overalls!

REflect – inspiring diversity in engineering and technology

People from Global Ethnic Majorities (GEM - black and ethnically diverse people) are under-represented in the engineering and technology industry, and we want to change that.

Diverse experiences and insights are critical for organisational success – so we want to help promote science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) as an exciting industry to young people, and in-turn diversify the talent pipeline.

We partnered with RS Grass Roots and the Association for Black and Minority Ethnic Engineers (AFBE) to create a national day to raise awareness – held every year on 1 August to promote #GEMinSTEM. Get involved and help spread the word.

We also held events to inspire young people and help businesses break down barriers to progress in this space.
