The National Engineering Recruitment Exhibition, taking place on 10th and 11th May 2002 at Wembley in London, will profile the engineering sector in all its disciplines including civil electrical, electronic, manufacturing and systems engineering.
Hailed as the most cost-effective forum for recruiting engineers across the UK, the exhibition targets experienced and graduate engineers.
With thousands of positions available, the event will provide a forum for both exhibitors and visitors to meet and discuss opportunities.
Val Simmonds, Campaign Officer at CPE commented, " Our aim is to ensure that there is a flow of young, gifted people entering the engineering, science and technology industries.
The traditional image of the engineering industry is increasingly becoming a significant factor in the skills shortage we are witnessing.
Students are making career choices based on what they perceive to be more 'exciting' occupations at the expense of the engineering industry.
This exhibition will highlight the wide range of diverse and rewarding careers that are on offer across a broad cross-section of engineering disciplines".
