According to the Royal Academy of Engineers Wales needs something like an extra 2,500 graduates by 2020 to cope with those leaving due to retirement.

 

Again, I just don't know if this is really the case, given that we know that plenty of engineers are not finding suitable employment.

Marcus Body, head of research at Work Communications

 

 

 

Nearly a quarter of UK engineering graduates are working in non-graduate jobs or unskilled work such as waiting and shop work, a report suggests.

Katherine Sellgren (BBC) (2011)

 

I know I am starting to sound repetitive here, but what is really going on and how can we get to the truth? Do we really need more STEM graduates or not?
