National Careers Week, 2nd -7th  March, is a dedicated annual event that highlights the importance of meaningful careers education across the UK.  

The week provides a focal point in the academic calendar, encouraging schools, colleges, universities, alternative provision settings, and organisations to come together and inspire young people as they explore their future pathways. 

The aim of the week is to raise awareness, spark curiosity, and build confidence by giving learners access to guidance, information, and real-world insight at a crucial stage in their development. Through free resources, activities, and conversations, National Careers Week helps young people understand the breadth of opportunities available to them and the skills they may need to succeed. 

This year, we will be sharing a range of resources designed for young people interested in welding and engineering. These will include insights into different career routes, practical guidance on training and qualifications, and interviews with professionals working in the sector. Their experiences and advice will help highlight the skills, attributes, and pathways that can lead to a rewarding career in welding and engineering. 

Kick off the week by exploring exciting career pathways in welding, welding engineering, and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT). Check out our PowerPoint to learn more!
