Webtec recognises young female engineers of the future

30 June, 2022

Now in its 30th year, it aims to widen access and provide young people from all backgrounds the chance to experience the exciting world of engineering. Webtec has been a supporter since 1991 and the Roy Cuthbert Scholarship, which is part of the scheme, was named after Webtec’s founder, a passionate engineer and entrepreneur who passed away in 2013.

This scholarship scheme acts as a beacon to the most talented STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) students in the UK schools and helps to ensure that high-potential young people stay engaged in the engineering careers pipeline, in the critical 16 to 18 age range.

Rewarding hard work and commitment

Martin Cuthbert, Webtec’s managing director, comments: “Recognising talent in students and rewarding hard work and commitment is important, and we are delighted to have the opportunity to award two scholarships to young female students who well deserve this accolade. Webtec is passionate to support and encourage young talent into engineering and the Arkwright Scholarship offers a great opportunity to help students achieve their full potential.”

In addition to the Arkwright Scholarships, the company also actively supports other programmes including the Primary Engineer Leaders Award and the Engineering Education Scheme (EES) and works with local schools to offer career guidance and job opportunities at Webtec. Visit www.arkwright.org.uk to learn more
