Influence Of Industry-Integrated Learning In
Preparing BME Graduates For The World Of Work
Engineering UK indicate lower representation of black
and ethnic minorities (BME) in engineering professions
This can be attributed to a wide range of socio-economic
factors, including a lack of professional advice at critical
junctures in the engineering career progression.
Transition is a scheme that equips graduates with the
tools required to use their engineering knowledge.
A survey carried out of individuals who attended the
programme between 2012 and 2016 showed that more
than 87.5% felt better prepared for interviews; 70% had
secured a job within 12 months, and 78% believe that the
Transition programme contributed to their success.
