John Hancock, Managing Director of Venture Marketing Group, which organises The National Engineering & Construction Recruitment Exhibition, commented: "With the news agenda highlighting the current shortage of engineers, the NECR is one of the UK’s most important events in bringing together recruiters and job seekers to discuss potential career opportunities in the engineering industry. Now in its 18th year, this exhibition is the perfect occasion for those who are keen to kick start their career in the industry or the fully skilled simply seeking a career change. With everyone brought together under one roof, the networking opportunities are endless and it gives job seeking engineers invaluable face-to-face experience with leading recruiters which is not always readily available.”\Supported by the Women's Engineering Society (WES), the Women in Engineering Forum is a highly popular feature. Taking place on Friday 24th April, the open forum is run by women, for women and provides an excellent networking opportunity for women at all stages of their career. The forum offers the chance for visitors and industry representatives to share their experiences, make new contacts, and discuss the various options a career in the industry can offer. This year, two inspiring female engineers will be sharing their personal career experiences and give first hand advice to those still considering their career path.

The large, purpose built presentation theatre offers a series of free presentations from industry professionals, giving an insight into a number of topical issues and advice about the recruitment process. Plus, an exclusive feature to the National Engineering & Construction Recruitment Exhibition is the Professional Development Hub. Here, visitors can meet with representatives from the Engineering Council and key industry institutions for advice on the benefits of institution membership, as well as professional registration and how it can help personal career development. Open to all visitors to the exhibition, the Hub is available for the self-employed seeking status in the industry or those seeking guidance about career progression.
