The Best Programme
Visit the
Best website for further information
on all schemes within the Best Programme.
Best is The Royal
Academy of Engineering’s central initiative
in engineering education. Best, which stands
for ‘Better engineering, science, technology’, aims
to:
-
Recruit, train and
retain the brightest and most motivated
young people into and within the
engineering profession to fulfil the
needs of the economy and society.
-
Create mutually
beneficial partnerships between industry
and education, where the needs of
companies and the aspirations of
individuals are satisfied.
-
Provide
comprehensive, value-adding education
and training opportunities that can be
accessed throughout an individual’s
engineering career.
The Academy is
committed to total quality throughout the
Best programme. It offers employers the
opportunity to identify and recruit the most
talented young people wishing to enter, or
who are already part of, the engineering
profession, and to import their skills and
expertise. Consequently the Best Programme
enjoys the participation of a broad
cross-section of industry across its
component schemes.
The Best Programme is grateful
to Airbus for its generous support.
Airbus is an innovative,
global company where international teams work
together across geographical and technological
boundaries to deliver technically advanced aircraft
that set new standards for the industry.
From the cornerstone of its
aircraft family, the A300 which was the airline
industry’s first ever twin-engine, wide-body
aircraft, to the latest addition to the family, the
A380, Airbus has pioneered aircraft design and built
aircraft that that are recognised world wide for
their efficiency, safety and
environmentally-friendly operation.
To continue to lead the way,
Airbus is constantly looking for engineers who have
the confidence and ability to challenge industry
practice, work in international teams, and turn
innovative ideas into practical solutions.
The Academy’s Best Programme
forges these engineers.
From Young Engineers Clubs,
through the Engineering Education Scheme, Headstart
and Smallpeice courses, the Best Programme
encourages and enables young enthusiasts from all
walks of life to experience hands-on engineering and
technology and to discover and develop their
technological and teamwork skills.
Technology leadership is a
balance of innovation, reliability, flexibility and
economics; and the Engineering Leadership Advanced Awards
programme, the Undergraduate Programme and the
Sainsbury Management Fellowships scheme hone all
these qualities in its participants.
Throughout the continuum,
there are schemes and activities which will
undoubtedly spark the imaginations and build the
capabilities of tomorrow’s aerospace engineers.
The Best Programme is
supported in particular by the
Gatsby
Charitable Foundation.
