National Inclusion Week is a reminder that talent is everywhere, but opportunity isn't always equal. Launched last week, our 40 by 40 blueprint calls for action to increase women and girls on engineering and technology pathways to 40% by 2040: engineeringuk.com/latest-new…#NIW26
Today we launch #40by40 on behalf of the Gender Pathways collective. We need to increase the number of women and girls on engineering and technology pathways to at least 40% by 2040. We call on @GOVUK to act. Read all about it 🔗 engineeringuk.com/40by40#FutureWorkforce
It’s disappointing to see the continued decline in design and technology (D&T) entries in this year's GCSE results, down 2.3% on 2025, particularly with girls. Other STEM subjects remain stable but the D&T numbers are concerning.

ALT This image is an infographic highlighting the underrepresentation of women in engineering and technology in the UK. It features: 1. A statistic stating only 17% of individuals in these fields are women, represented by a pie chart. 2. A figure depicting that 240,000 people are needed each year in these roles. 3. A monetary illustration showing that the salary gap is about £9,000 annually, equating to 29% above the average of all occupations. 4. A statement indicating that if half of these roles were filled by women, an additional £1 billion could be earned annually. The design includes the EngineeringUK logo.
