WE50
Top 50 Women in Engineering: Current and Former Apprentices
The Top 50 Women in Engineering (WE50), founded by the Women's Engineering Society in 2016, is a UK awards event linked to International Women in Engineering Day: a global celebration of women in engineering that takes place on 23 June each year. This year's WE50 has now been revealed and was also in a supplement published by the Guardian newspaper on Monday 24 June. The WE50 winners received their awards at the Women's Engineering Society Afternoon Tea at the Royal Academy of Engineering on the same day.
The WE50 raises awareness of the skills shortage facing the industry, highlighting the huge discrepancy between the number of men vs. women currently in engineering professions. We aim to change perceptions, encouraging young women to consider engineering as a viable and rewarding career. The theme in 2019 is 'Apprentices' and we will be awarding the Top 50 Women who are either currently serving as apprentices or have previously been in an apprenticeship within an engineering or related role.
