Careers
Greenpower is not just about having fun (although this is part of it)! Our aim is also to encourage participants to look at pursuing a career in engineering and technology, realising along the way that it is not a boring subject!Over the years many students who have taken part in Greenpower events have gone on to study or work in the engineering sector.
Engineering spans a huge range of topics – everything around you has had an engineer involved with it in some way; in its research, design, development and manufacture. The United Kingdom has always been a world leader in many areas of engineering, and will be for many years to come. Choosing a career in this diverse sector is guaranteed to involve you in fascinating and exciting work.
To write about the world of engineering would take up many pages, but if you would like to learn about some of the areas, and how to get started on a career in engineering, take a look at http://www.learninggrid.co.uk/engineering
"I became the Patron of Greenpower in 2004. As someone heavily involved in motorsport I realise how important it is that this country continues to produce engineers of the highest quality. The Greenpower project is a key part of promoting engineering in schools. Combine this with the current relevance of 'green' transport, and it is clear that Greenpower is an initiative that really works. I look forward to playing a part in its future success."
The Earl of March, Patron of Greenpower
