The CIBSE Young Engineers’ Network has held its first event to raise the profile of building services among school-leavers and promote the efforts of young people in the industry.

The breakfast reception at the House of Commons was hosted by Peter Bottomley MP.

Young Engineers chairman Michael Norton said the challenges faced by today’s engineers, such as climate change and fuel depletion, were unlike those in the last century.

“The challenge is to make engineering the career of choice for the majority of students who have an aptitude for it,” he said.

Among the aims of the Young Engineers’ Network is to promote building services engineering to students and guide young engineers towards a long-term career in the industry.
