The Engineering Construction Industry Training Board (ECITB) has announced that is touring the country with its theatre in education roadshow.
Travelling across the UK, the roadshow will seek to promote science, technology, engineering & mathematics (STEM) as well as careers in engineering construction.
The interactive show aims to inspire young students and to inform them about the variety of careers available in the engineering construction industry.

The theatre in education roadshow explains the importance of the engineering construction industry to our modern lifestyles and the sectors that it encompasses, including: Oil & Gas, Nuclear Energy, Renewables and Chemicals & Pharmaceutical.
Chief executive of ECITB David Edwards said: “The ECITB’s Schools Tour initiative is designed to raise the awareness of engineering construction careers.
“The engineering construction industry is in the position to be able to offer exciting and well paid careers to young people. The industry will require as many as 42,000 more engineers, scientists, technologists and skilled workers over the next ten years so it is vital to the future of engineering construction in this country, that we raise awareness of the industry with young people,” added Edwards.
