International Women in Engineering Day (INWED) takes place on 23 June 2024 and promotes the amazing work that women engineers across the globe are doing. This year’s theme is #Enhancedbyengineering.
INWED gives women engineers around the world a profile when they are still hugely under-represented, with 2021 figures indicating that in the UK only 16.5% of engineers are women.

To mark International Women in Engineering Day, The Welsh Government wants to shine a light on the range of initiatives aimed at encouraging girls into Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) careers, such as funding programmes specifically focused at girls, with the aim of increasing the numbers from secondary schools engaging with STEM industries. It also fully funds degree apprenticeships in Engineering and Advanced Manufacturing that combine real-world workplace learning with a higher education qualification: The sky’s the limit for women in engineering in Wales | GOV.WALES
