🌟 What we’re looking for

We’re on the lookout for passionate people from across the engineering world – whether you’re a student, graduate or seasoned pro. If you’ve got a natural confidence on camera and a story to share, we’d love to hear from you.

Past presenters like Mikaela, a neurodivergent engineer, have made a real impact by helping us raise awareness and reach thousands of people.

🎤 From Presenter to Award Night Advocate

Mikaela first came to Foothold for help getting an ADHD diagnosis. With our support, she was able to complete her engineering placement with confidence. But that wasn’t the end of her journey.

She later joined us as a Volunteer Presenter, using her story to help others feel seen and supported. Her heartfelt videos for Neurodiversity Celebration Week and ADHD Awareness Month became some of our most-viewed – and even contributed to Foothold being nominated for a Smiley Charity Film Award 🏆

Her voice not only inspired engineers – it helped shape a national conversation about neurodiversity in the workplace.

Be the Face of Foothold

💡 Real voices, real impact

Volunteer presenters like Joe and Richard helped us launch our Donate Direct campaign – speaking from the heart about why supporting engineers matters. Their message reached engineers across the IET community, highlighting how donations to Foothold provide vital support with mental health, neurodiversity, and financial wellbeing.

Whether it’s raising awareness, encouraging donations, or sharing your own story, our presenters play a crucial role in bringing Foothold’s work to life.
