BEYOND is a public engagement initiative, led by engineers from Arup and HDR, designed to inspire and equip the next generation of engineers through interactive, multidisciplinary workshops and mentoring. Created for young black and ethnic minority students from disadvantaged backgrounds, it connects classroom STEM learning to real-world engineering challenges focused on digital innovation, sustainability, and the built environment.
Working with schools, the programme will offer hands-on workshops, mentoring, and talks led by engineers who reflect students’ lived experiences. By building skills, confidence, and awareness of engineering careers, BEYOND aims to strengthen the pipeline of diverse talent and contribute to a more inclusive engineering workforce.
