NSAN Commits to Tomorrow’s Engineers Code

NSAN has become one of the first companies to sign up to the Tomorrow’s Engineers Code launched on the 15^th October 2020 by Engineering UK.

The Tomorrow’s Engineers Code is a commitment to work towards common goals to increase the diversity and number of young people entering engineering careers.

The Tomorrow’s Engineers Code has been created to enable those who work in education, government and industry to work together to foster the critical engineering and technology skills needed for the UK to be a leader in innovation and improve societal and economic resilience, and environmental sustainability.

Ensuring programmes contribute to a sustained and rich STEM journey for all young people
Ensuring all young people have opportunities to engage in engineering-inspiration activities, so that no one is left behind
Promoting a positive, compelling and authentic view of engineering, and showcasing the breadth of opportunities
Improving the monitoring and evaluation of programmes and activities to develop a shared understanding of what works

The Code is managed by Engineering UK, but ownership and development of the code is by the signatories.

Jo Tipa, Managing Director of NSAN commented:

“By signing up to the Code we are making a commitment to work collaboratively with partner Signatories to increase the number and diversity of young people entering engineering careers. Currently the nuclear industry is working towards increasing inclusivity, particularly to grow the number of women working in our sector from 22% to 40% by 2030, a target set in the Nuclear Sector Deal. I would encourage nuclear companies to get involved with the Code and help to improve the inclusivity of activities designed to inspire young people.”

Any organisation with UK operations that funds, designs and/or delivers engineering-inspiration activities is invited to become a Signatory. It’s free to become a member of this community and any organisation not meeting the criteria above, can join as a supporter.
