International Women in Engineering Day 2018
Last weekend saw the world celebrate International Women in Engineering Day 2018. To mark this, we’ve put together some statistics on females within the industry.
The infographic shows some interesting findings which we’ve summarised below:
- From 2015 – 2017, the percentage of women in the Engineering workforce rose from 9% to 11%
- 84% of female Engineers are either happy or extremely happy with their career choice
- 15.1% of Engineering undergraduates in the UK last year were women
- Engineering contributes a staggering 26% of our GDP which is over £127.5 million to the UK economy
These results show that there are positive, progressive changes happening within Engineering to encourage a more diverse workforce, something we are proud to support at First Recruitment Group.
