More than 130 primary pupils from across Oldham have taken part in engineering workshops at Hulme Grammar School, which has signed up train operator Northern as an official Industry Member of its Brenda Mills Institute of Innovation and Technology. The school said the link, reported by the Saddleworth Independent, is meant to widen science, technology and engineering opportunities to children across the borough.

The work began on National Engineering Day, Wednesday, November 4, and will continue with mentoring, careers fairs and an apprenticeship breakfast. Rachel Kent, Northern's Social Impact Lead, said the aim was to show young people "a career in transport and STEM is within their reach".
