What an amazing opportunity for this young man from Coxlease School, Aspris having the opportunity to take part in tool demonstrations at the InstallerSHOW with Draper Tools.

Having always had a passion for practical work, this young man shone during his time attending Southampton Engineering Training Association Ltd during Years 10 & 11 working on 'performing engineering operations' under the watchful eye of the SEND Schools Tutor in our dedicated Schools Workshop.

Since finishing his GCSEs he has moved on to college to do construction using some of the tools that Draper Tools donated to their Skills Hub. Not content with just doing practical work at college, he also volunteers at Tools for Self Reliance refurbishing tools for people in Africa so they can become more self reliant.

Wonderfully hot (!) day yesterday at Cantell School taking part in their Careers Fair 2026.

Great conversations, so many engaged young people. Hopefully some budding engineers amongst them.

Our stand had a great addition for the day with a Maintenance Engineering Apprentice from South Western Railway. Chris talked through some electrical circuit diagrams, demonstrated a wheel bearing, diesel injector and oversaw the dissassembling & re-assembling of the items by some very engaged students.

** Happy International Women in Engineering Day 2026! **

INWED is brought to you by the Women’s Engineering Society (WES) and it gives women engineers around the world a profile when they are still hugely under-represented in their professions.

6.3 million people work in engineering and technology roles, which is about a fifth of the UK workforce according to in April 2025. Within that, women make up just 17% of the workforce, compared to 56% in other occupations. Engineering remains a highly male-dominated workforce.

Meet two amazing Maintenance Engineers in the first year of their apprenticeship to see why they chose to do an engineering apprenticeship.

Fluid Power is the use of pressurised liquids or gases to generate, control, and transmit mechanical energy.

But first comes the pipes....

There certainly has been a lot of 'energy' in the workshop during this rotation as apprentices built their own pipe circuits using brass, plastic and copper connections. They then conducted a pressure test to 7 bar pressure for 10 minutes to find the leaks!

Varying degrees of success! But all whilst learning real life skills that they will use out in the workplace.

Last week SETA welcomed Harry Mitchell from Solent University, Southampton who gave an informative session to our first year engineering apprentices on progression opportunities following their .

An apprenticeship is generally the first rung on a great career ladder within the field of engineering, whatever the discipline. So letting apprentices see what sort of potential progression there is, supports them to achieve their ambition.
