🎖️ We're thrilled to see the impact our LEAP Programme for Systems Engineers is making for both Leonardo and our Armed Forces Veterans! The LEAP Programme co-created by Matchtech, The School of Systems Engineering & Innexia Ltd is designed to help individuals with engineering or technical experience or education build a career in Systems Engineering, while also making a meaningful impact on the skills gap in this field. We're delighted to see these real stories published by media companies on how LEAP is helping ex-armed forces personnel transition into a fantastic 2nd career, previously out of reach for most. Veterans bring technical knowledge, leadership, and adaptability - essential qualities for the defence sector and beyond.

Students, we want to hear from you! What do you believe is the biggest blocker to kickstarting your career in Tech or Engineering? 🤔 🔹 Lack of experience — “I don’t have the hands-on skills employers are looking for.” 🔹 Limited industry connections — “I don’t know the right people to help me get ahead.” 🔹 Unclear career path — “I don’t know what roles are out there or where to start.” 🔹 Confidence gap — “I feel underqualified, even when I meet the criteria.” Drop your vote and share your thoughts in the comments! 👇 STEM Futures is coming soon to break down these barriers and give you the tools to succeed.
