Have your say at the Manufacturing Skills Debate

Summary

EEF in partnership with Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery

Manufacturing businesses continue to report problems finding the right people with the right skills; many commenting that skills shortages affect growth and competitiveness.

The challenges are well documented; but what are the solutions?

This EEF Debate jointly hosted with Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery examines some of the innovative approaches taken by manufacturers to respond to their business needs; investing in skills, planning for the future and taking proactive steps to secure the workforce they need to remain ahead of the field. Our case study section explores how a group of businesses tackled their skills shortages head on.

Join us at the Engineering Hub, the first School of Engineering to be built in the UK for more than 20 years and be part of the solution.
