Engineering X Skills for Safety programme
Focused on enabling the delivery of skills for safer engineering through education, advocacy, community building and industry partnerships.
Discover how Lloyd's Register Foundation is increasing the number and diversity of skilled engineers, especially in parts of the world where they're most needed.
Estimated number of scientists and engineers in Europe (2018).
Occupational accident data indicates that the safety gap between developing economies and the developed world is increasing, and emerging technologies, unless adopted safely, could exacerbate this gap rather than close it. To meet the demands of urbanisation, industrialisation and a rapidly growing population, we need a new approach to engineering education that has diversity, equity and inclusion at its heart.
Lloyd’s Register Foundation is building a global evidence base that informs us where engineering capacity is most lacking, helping identify which interventions are most effective to address safety challenges in their local context. We champion skills initiatives that will support a safe, equitable and just transition to zero-carbon fuels, and remove barriers for new talent and underrepresented demographics to enter the engineering workforce, particularly in the Global South.
