Celebrating diversity in manufacturing and tech

We understand the benefits that a diverse and inclusive workforce can bring to a business. Diversity opens your business up to different perspective and new ways of thinking, and can also help to boost productivity, performance and the way people perceive your organisation.

Our campaign shines a light on some of manufacturing and tech’s thought-leaders and innovators as their share their insights on diversity and inclusion, as well as celebrating emerging talent within the sectors.

We’ll also be showing you how you can diversify your workforce – and reap the benefits of doing so - with the help of the Growth Company.

Mind the gap – how can we plug the industrial skills shortage?

When I attend networking events, I often hear the same problems being raised by companies in the manufacturing and engineering sectors: ‘what do we do about the lack of skills?’ While there is always a need to ensure organisations develop employees for skills retention, I believe this to be more of a lack of awareness of the vast array of opportunities available within these sectors. All too often, when I’m speaking with students and young adults considering their career choices, there seems to be a divide between those knowing what role they want to pursue and those students that aren’t so sure.
