Together, we engineer a better tomorrow

The IET Futures Fund empowers the next generation of engineers and technologists - supporting young people through STEM education, skills development and life-changing scholarships. 

Whether you’re an individual passionate about creating opportunity or an organisation seeking meaningful CSR, social value, or talent development partnerships, your support fuels the programmes that shape the world’s future innovators. 

What we do

79% of our awards alumni (2020-2024) are employed in the engineering and technology sector

The importance of inspiring more young people to choose science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) subjects and related degree courses or apprenticeships to bridge the skills gap in UK industry is widely recognised and has never been more important for the future of our profession
