Schemes for GCSE and A-level Students
The Engineering Education Scheme
The future of the
engineering profession depends on
recruiting, educating and retaining the most
able and motivated young people.
The Engineering
Education Scheme is a major component in the
Pre-University section of the Best
Programme. It introduces sixth formers to
the world of engineering via a programme of
joint projects between participating schools
and sponsoring industrial companies.
Since it began as a
pilot scheme in England in 1984, further schemes
have been developed in Wales and Northern Ireland. Its success in
developing a nationwide series of
collaborations between education and
industry every year has been productive for
all involved.
