BTEC Higher National Certificate (HNC) in General Engineering
Could you engineer the future?
UK needs over one million new engineers and technicians, says Royal Academy of Engineering. Due to rapid social and technological changes, the need for engineers is greater now than ever before.
To meet projected employer demand the number of engineering apprentices and graduates entering the industry will need to double.
The report, produced by EngineeringUK, analyses the engineering industry’s capacity and capability for growth and details engineering in education, training and employment. It shows that engineering accounts for a quarter (24.9%) of UK turnover – 9% higher than at the start of the recession. However, we need more engineers. Engineering companies will need 182,000 people per year with engineering skills in the decade to 2022 but there is a current annual shortfall of 55,000 skilled workers.
