Long industry career, now Head of Strategy, Policy & Insights for ECITB. Passionate about engineering, still a systems engineer at heart. Views my own.

It’s @AFBE_UK Live! today and the @ECITB_Skills team is here to engage with the theme of Embedding Inclusion in Engineering (human-centred solutions)

[Jenny Young @JenYoung5]

And what a fabulous set of winners at @ETAwards23. Well done to all the winners and finalists. @ECITB_Skills #EngDiversity

[Jenny Young @JenYoung5]

Well done to all the finalists. And the winner of the Inclusion Programme of the Year at @ETAwards23 is UCL & BADU “Bridging the Gap”. ⁦@ECITB_Skills⁩ CEO Andrew Hockey presents the award

[Jenny Young @JenYoung5]

And proceedings will be underway shortly at @ETAwards23

[Jenny Young @JenYoung5]

Paraphrasing very true words from @EqualEngineers founder @MarkMcBW - with the interface between skills, workforce, net zero, infrastructure it’s really important to play the long game. Building inclusion and culture change takes time

[Jenny Young @JenYoung5]

So @ECITB_Skills are delighted to be supporting the #ETAwards23 today. We are sponsoring Inclusion Programme of the Year - good luck to all the award finalists #EngDiversity

This train will be running in the South East line for a year. How great to honour Verena Holmes, an trailblazing female engineer from Kent. A nice symmetry too - @CanterburyCCUni opened their Verena Holmes building last year, home for great for cross-STEM learning #INWED23

Unveiled! The Verena Holmes train @Se_Railway! Appropriate as today is Verena's 134th birthday! #INWED23 https://t.co/iShvDwFp4P

@dawnbonfield @sciencemuseum Couldn’t agree more Dawn, it was a great day to start the day!

[Jenny Young @JenYoung5]

It’s INWED2023 and I have been lucky enough to attend several very different events this week to mark the celebration. But it was so moving to see @dawnbonfield thanked today by @YeWanDae at @sciencemuseum for being the determined individual who started INWED 10 yrs ago

@mrimafidon @motivez_uk Well done George, that’s fantastic!

The @ECITB_Skills Project Conference kicks off with ECITB Chair Lynda Armstrong with a very interesting line-up of speakers. It has been a while since this event was last held in person and the opportunity to network F2F always adds an extra dimension.

[Jenny Young @JenYoung5]

A full day of interesting content - well done @thewisecampaign for 2023 conference. Food for thought for @ECITB_Skills on returnerships and a behavioural approach for inclusive recruitment. Good chance to catch up with @RAEngNews @ReturntoSTEM @networkrail #engdiversity

[Jenny Young @JenYoung5]

Proceedings just starting at the @thewisecampaign 2023 conference, with Kay Hussain opening the programme. Strong focus on returners and retention today #engdiversity #wise2023 @ECITB_Skills

[Jenny Young @JenYoung5]

Something different this evening. At @UCLEngEdu for @MarkMcBW inaugural lecture as @RAEngNews Visiting Professor on Inclusive Engineering Leadership #engdiversity

@SaturdayKitchen @jollyolly @inverrestaurant Just watching Pam Brunton on best bites. Lovely recipe. Where can you find the slicing grater she uses for the hard cheese to finish the dish? What a great gadget!

[Jenny Young @JenYoung5]

It was lovely to be back at @RAEngNews this evening supporting the @ThisIsEng celebration. Hearing about the reach achieved over the 5 years is inspiring but even better to hear the commitment to long term inspiration. Good to share @ECITB_Skills work with Green Jobs Taskforce

[Jane Sutton @janesutton4]

Great panel for our @ThisIsEng reception tonight with @SheilaFlavell1 @JenYoung5 @mrimafidon @MarshallPhysics chaired by @RAEngNews CEO Hayaatun Sillem #CreatetheFuture #EngineeringSkills
