I enjoyed meeting with the companies and hearing their advice, especially on application process as I will be applying for graduate jobs.

Much more relaxed atmosphere compared to any previous event I've attended which made it easier to build relationships with employers.

Great experience that really opened my eyes into what impact females can make within engineering.

The day has been inspirational and a great reminder of why I chose to study engineering.

Speaking to graduates and recruiters in such a relaxing environment was such an insightful opportunity- so many of my questions were answered, even those I didn't know I had.
Student

It was delightful to see so many high calibre female engineering students who had made the effort to research our company and prepare questions for the networking session. The event was very well organised, informative and fun. This is our third year attending the event and we look forward to getting involved again next year.
National Grid

A fantastic way to meet other female engineers, be inspired to pursue a career in the sector and learn more about the application process.
Student

It has made me realise that engineering is quite an open sector and that there is a lot of scope to enter a lot of areas.
Student

A thoroughly enjoyable event, with very intelligent and driven students. The students are from a mixture of years so proved great for our current and future pipeline, and company branding. You also walk away with the details of circa 100 top quality students, so a very unique event.
AECOM

Everything was great, the overall vibe puts you in a good mood and even if you come in scared and unsure about what to do, that quickly goes away.
Student

We have attended the Future Female Engineering event for a number of years now; it is a great opportunity for employers to meet with interested and motivated female engineering students. Throughout the event students have the opportunity to get to know their preferred employers, hear what is like to be a graduate in the company and also gain helpful hints and tips on the application process. The event is a great opportunity for students and employers to network across a number of informal and fun sessions!
