The Engineering Talent Awards 2020, powered by EqualEngineers is a new set of awards to celebrate the diversity of the engineering and technology profession.
The awards will raise the profile of the engineering and technology profession across the UK and highlight diversity in engineering on a national platform. Through showcasing role models and inspiring people to consider a career in engineering and technology, we will celebrate the diversity of organisations and engineers.
