"...It was a brilliant day! We got to see some of the UK's best innovations first hand, heard from and talked to the people involved, and learnt about future technology. It is an exciting time for our young engineers, with so many great opportunities in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Manufacturing sectors. It really makes us wonder what they'll come up with next..."

“This was our first time at Get up to Speed and we had an amazing day. We were a little unsure about what to expect…As well as giving an insight into our world, we also came away with some unexpected opportunities…It was also a great opportunity for some of our team to spend time in the community…we will definitely be attending again next year.”

"Absolutely Blew us away! It was the most exciting trip ever. We are already booked in for next year - this was unbelievable."

"The virtual experience is amazing and has really opened the students' thoughts shown through their discussions when watching the videos that identified different roles and pathways into employment within the STEM sector."

"Just wanted to pass on my thanks and congratulations for what I think has been a great GUTS week. I’ve dipped in and out of a number of the sessions and it’s been amazing to see the variety of content and speakers."

"I attended the event last year with my son who on the day networked with different companies offering apprenticeships, we found it a very positive experience my son is now in his seventh month as an apprentice at Sheffield Forgemasters"
