I am passionate about highlighting the exciting opportunities on offer to encourage young people to give real consideration to engineering and manufacturing careers.
—Sakthy Selvakumaran
‘Make it in Great Britain’ is a Government initiative to help highlight and celebrate British manufacturing. The ‘Make it in Great Britain’ campaign has chosen thirty young rising stars of the manufacturing world – ’30 Under 30′- of which alumna Sakthy Selvakumaran is one. The 24-year-old was described by the judging panel as being “a true high-flyer, standing out from her peers and demonstrating passion, enthusiasm and ambition in her role
The young professionals were selected by a panel of expert judges and come from all walks of manufacturing. They include young talent from companies such as Pendennis Shipyard and GlaxoSmithKline as well as small and medium-sized enterprises such as The Paper Cup Company and Vantage Power.
All aged under 30, the finalists will now go on to act as ambassadors for the ‘Make it in Great Britain’ campaign, which aims to transform the image of modern manufacturing. They will have a special role in engaging with other young people, to ensure that the next generation is aware of the opportunities and careers in the engineering industry.
