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:
