<p>“Women in Engineering” is one of a number of calls under the Employer Ownership
Fund that have been run in response to recommendations from the Perkins review of
engineering skills. A nominal maximum budget of £10m was allocated to the “Women in
Engineering” call, but it was not as successful as the other calls in attracting bids
- there were only two successful applications which have been awarded a total of £104,
320, of which £12,288 is expected to be drawn down this year.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>
</p><p>There is no underspend of the Employer Ownership budget which is fully allocated
for FY2014/15. All unallocated funds from calls that have closed have been assigned
to new calls that will also address the recommendations of the Perkins review such
as the current call aimed at improving engineering skills in smaller companies.</p><p>
