Siemens

Mark Wood, Schools and Corporate Citizenship Manager

The TE Code Connect platform allows like-minded individuals to make connections and share the best practice and knowledge that is essential in this space.

I have linked with individuals doing the same role as me in other businesses in order to seek peer-to-peer advice, as well as with potential new beneficiaries and volunteering opportunities to promote the business, empowering Siemens employees to get involved with environmental or societal activities such as becoming a Governor or Mentor. By having a curated directory, this eliminates cold calling and establishes connections on which we can build to promote further success.

The STEM Project

Laura Giddings, Director

After a tumultuous 12 months, watching worryingly as the STEM Education landscape adapted and recovered from a global pandemic, to being made redundant from my dream job supporting the current and next generation in STEM, I decided to do something big and different and create a freelance agency of like-minded individuals from industry and education to work together to support industry and education in their pursuits into STE(A)M industries. By being a signatory for The Code, The STEM Project is standing shoulder to shoulder with the 199 other small, medium and large organisations who share the same ideals, ethos and passions in engaging and inspiring the current and future generations (and by extension those supporting them at home and in the classroom).

Wessex Water

Becca Thurston, Early Careers Manager

Joining The Tomorrow’s Engineers Code has helped add more structure and purpose to our careers engagement. The support and sign posting from our Account Manager has been amazing as well as providing points of reflection to ensure we’re making an impact. We are going to start using the Impact Framework and the Measures Bank tool to help us to review the data we are collecting and the impact our activities and presence at events is having. Having access to the work of others is inspirational and reassuring. We’re all doing excellent work, and it’s awesome to see it all together on platforms connected to The Code like Neon.

1851 Trust

Ben Cartledge, CEO

We’re excited to be part of a movement that will use the collective power of its members to help make engineering more diverse. The Code provides a robust approach to increasing our combined impact by focusing on areas that are most important to inspiring young people. Now more than ever, all young people need us to come together to offer them the very best quality learning experience and opportunities.

Enovation Consulting

Dr Cristiana Pace, Director

The Tomorrow’s Engineers Code provides a framework to build on the work so many of us are already doing. It is about sharing, learning from and building on best practice. With a better evidence base for identifying activities which can deliver the greatest impact, and by working across the community, we’ll be able to achieve more without reinventing the wheel.

Nissan Skills Foundation

Ian Green, Senior Controller / Section Manager - Global Training Centre

Nissan was approached about getting involved at the early stages of the development of the Code and was heavily involved in giving feedback and making suggestions as to how it could be improved and what the key focus areas should be. We are passionate about engaging young people and raising the profile of the Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering sectors. If we can influence the next generation of engineers and production staff and get more of the supply base involved in these activities, it will only help strengthen the talent pool and future prosperity of these companies.

Thales UK

Siemens

Brenda Yearsley, UK Education Development Manager

It is such a dynamic time for skills at the moment – negative and positive for young people, not only do we have the major issues of our age, the mega trends such as climate change, globalisation, demographic change, urbanisation, digitalisation but the pandemic has fundamentally changed the way we work and the skills we need to operate productively. This is why Siemens is delighted to be a signatory of The Tomorrows Engineers Code, as The Code provides a robust approach to increasing our collective impact and commitment to inspiring and exciting young people into STEM careers. The code reinforces the message that engineering and technology makes a difference to society through innovation, digital technologies and the circular economy - this means embracing the process of integrating the real and the digital worlds, a gigantic leap forward for our future entry level skills and we can only do this with strong collaboration with like-minded organisations.

Unipres

Rob Dodds, Apprentice Coordinator

Unipres (UK) Limited has a longstanding relationship with EngineeringUK so when their Business Partnership Manager Moira Shaftoe approached us with the concept of The Code we jumped at the chance to be a part of it. We saw this as a perfect opportunity to collaborate with other organisations to shape the way young people are given the chance to engage in engineering inspiration activities. I recently attended a Code Collaboration workshop where all the attendees were able to input into how code community can work together and shape future developments.

Aldermans

Karen Friendship, Managing Director

We are incredibly proud of the work we are doing with young people in our community. Using the 4 pledges of The Code has provided us with a practical framework so we understand and recognise our achievements. This inspires us to do more.
