Welcome to EDT / Inspiring future engineers & scientists

The EDT

The EDT is an independent registered charity whose mission is to encourage young people to fulfil their potential through careers in science, engineering and technology (SET).

Established in 1984, the EDT is a leading national provider of work related learning programmes targeting 11-21 year olds and annually involves over 6000 students. The Trust aims to inspire and motivate young people into choosing a SET career by giving them the opportunity to experience real life exposure to industry, business and higher education. The awareness gained empowers students to make informed choices at key stages of their education.
