Do you like to take things apart just to see how they work? Are you a practical person, but enjoy finding solutions to challenging problems? Are you able to communicate your ideas and findings clearly to others using drawings and diagrams?

If so, then a career in engineering may be right for you.

Everything in the modern world has been designed and engineered at some point – cars, mobile phones, i-Pods, wind turbines, ships, roller coasters, even something simple like an aerosol can.

Skilled engineers are in big demand so there are plenty of job opportunities both in the UK and abroad, not to mention very good pay! Fully qualified engineers can earn over £45k per year.

Success! Former Toynbee School student, Alex Stickland, has gained L3 and is now with Emerson Chloride as an advanced apprentice electrical engineer

People work in engineering at all levels, ranging from operators who operate machinery and carry out assembly work, to professional engineers who use their experience to manage projects.

If all this sounds interesting, and you like the idea of combining maths, science and lots of practical experience, then we can definitely help you.

If you’re really interested in boats and ships, perhaps a career in the vast and growing marine industry may be preferable? Click here for more info.
