The numbers of student engineers on the Island could be boosted after a careers event designed to get more people interested in the field.
An event is being held at the Isle of Man College on March 19th to highlight access to the sector.
The college runs a two-year full-time course for 36 students - both male and female - leading to an NVQ level 2 qualification and a possible full-time industry role.
Adrian Harrison is the engineering sector skills champion, he says perceptions have changed over the years:
Translators paid £23,000 by Manx Care in five years
Should those committing misconduct in public office face prosecution?
Michael Dunlop gets an MBE!
Over £6,500 raised to help this year's injured TT riders
RAF fighter aircraft to perform for Classic TT
Court's decision to cut killer's sentence 'painful beyond words', say victim's family
Changes to frequency of smear testing
Will the police be getting their own gym?
