1066 Future Engineers is a project run by East Sussex County Council that will create relationships between the local community and neighbouring industrial estate, housing a growing hub of engineers, inspiring those living locally to consider jobs in these industries.
By piloting after-school clubs in engineering with primary pupils, the aim is to give children hands-on experience and build long-term relationships to mitigate sector skills gaps locally by ‘home growing’ future engineers.
The after-school clubs will be diverse and inclusive with planned activities including ‘real world’ projects – building or creating something that works.
