During the first phase a considerable amount of research was carried out into the technician landscape across the whole. STEM community; general awareness of the technician role was raised and the current numbers employed in the UK were identified. The Engineering Council is currently preparing to host Phase 2 of the Technician Council's work with the Science Council. Funded by the Gatsby Charitable Foundation and chaired by Graham Spittle from IBM, it was expected to hold its first meeting in January 2013. At the same time, the Gatsby Foundation is also funding EngC's Technician Registration and Membership (TRaM) project, which kicked off in April 2012. The aim of this project is to create and launch a revised registration product that is valued by employers and embraced by technicians. A steering team has met three times so far.
