The North East Community of Professional Engineers in the Tees Valley
Our journey though the eyes of our Chair
A visit to Prior Mill Church of England Primary School helped the whole children assembly understand the breadth of our planet, diversity in engineering and what bio diversity means.
The activities to build whatever the children wanted saw us have a very diverse selection of which my favourite was the Transporter Bridge
Our Committee’s and Subgroups are always on the lookout for volunteers to help support our activities.
If you are able to give your time or resources then please get in touch, we would be
delighted to hear from you.
Volunteering is good for your professional development and it makes you feel great as you can really see the difference you make.
Engineers from all sectors are welcome to join us on the Council.
Another great way of getting involved is becoming a STEM Ambassador (https://www.stem.org.uk/stem-ambassadors) and then can volunteer to help out at the events organised by Engineering Together and others.

As we near the end of 2019 I wish you all a Happy New Year.
This year has seen some great progress made by our group and 2020 is set to be even more active.
We shall see an engaging 2020 where we will see even more STEM events in schools and for the public.

Great to be contributing to interactive and engaging collaboration with the CITB, employers, education providers and stakeholders today in Middlesbrough.
We all are working together to get more people reach their potential and bridge the construction skills gap.
Pleased to see tangible actions agreed to help us all.
Together we can make a difference to get people working in good jobs in the construction industry.
Truly Engineering Together 🙂
We had lots of activities in the last month from many of our Council Members in the Tees Valley.
Moira from Engineering UK also gave us overview of NECoPE Tyneside group which everyone found interesting including outcomes from Bring It On which is a flagship event in the North East.
It was great to see many different organisations and contractors working together in The Tees Valley yesterday, talking about skills, innovation, productivity and sustainability…
Welcome to our new website brought to you by Engineering Together and kindly facilitated by MAADigital (www.maadigital.co.uk).
For now it is a work in progress which we will over the coming weeks and months build upon. Working TOGETHER we can make a real difference. In the long term this website will help navigate through the plethora of STEM and engineering organisations and enable everyone to find resources.
Ideas and comments on this webpage are most welcome.
Paula, Chair.

What a great meeting with Seymour’s finding out about how Engineering Together can link into the community work they do and their new exciting Skills Academy.
