Over the past few weeks, Arkwright Scholars, alumni, and industry professionals have come together at our networking events across the UK to share ideas, explore opportunities, and strengthen our awesome engineering community! 🌟

These events provided an opportunity for engaging conversations—whether about career paths, innovative developments, or what’s next in STEM. They also gave scholars a fantastic opportunity to connect with amazing people who've walked the path before them!

Future engineers, this is your time.

It's National Mentoring Day!

Mentorship is about more than guidance—it’s about connection, growth, and shared learning. We're so thankful for the incredible mentors who support our Arkwright Scholars.

This week, we’re celebrating Rachel Hayden, a former Scholar turned mentor. With the support of her own mentor, Rachel found her path into civil engineering and built a thriving career. Now, she’s inspiring the next generation.

You have the power to change a young person's life by becoming an Arkwright Mentor. Learn more about how you can get involved and help inspire the next generation of leaders in engineering: https://www.smallpeicetrust.org.uk/volunteer-with-us/
