Despite Silver Fox working with Data & Telecom, and Electrical & Instrumentation Engineers supporting their labelling challenges for over 40 years, we are well aware that there are other areas of Engineering. There are thousands of types of engineering jobs out there, from Civil to Mechanical to Materials. There are so many opportunities under the umbrella of Engineering. 

The Challenge

So many young people going into the world of further education or work are unaware of the possibilities that lie before them in engineering and that you do not just need a degree in engineering to be successful in the field, and, unlike a profession such as Law, or Accounting, there are so many more varied routes a young person could take to become an engineer of some kind. 

The Goal

To develop a podcast that inspires those listening to think, 'I could do that' when listening to engineers of different levels and disciplines talk about their different journeys. 

The I Could Do That podcast is produced by Silver Fox in collaboration with the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), used to inspire the next generation.
