Engineers’ Week is a week long programme of nationwide events with the aim of celebrating the world of engineering in Ireland. The aim of the week is to create a positive awareness and spark enthusiasm about the engineering profession to people of various ages with little or no engineering background. The week is coordinated on a national basis by Engineers Ireland as part of the STEPS programme.
These workshops will give practical careers advice to young people interested in a career in the engineering sector.
