Expleo extends partnership with InnovateHer

As part of the renewed collaboration, Expleo engineers will deliver talks to over 1,200 students across four regions of the UK.  

Expleo said that the in-school activities aim to inspire young women and girls to pursue careers in science, engineering and technology, where they currently make up just 29 per cent of workers.

Following in-school visits to over 600 students in Derby, London and Preston in 2023, Expleo and InnovateHer have expanded their ambitions to include schools in the Bristol area for this new campaign.

In addition to holding focused assemblies and classroom-based role model talks, Expleo’s women engineers will also present local apprenticeship opportunities directly to students.

In a statement, Jeff Hoyle, MD of Expleo, UK, and EVP of Aero, Space and Defence, said: “We’re proud to continue our work with InnovateHer and have seen first-hand the difference that community engagement makes to young women in schools across the UK.
