Next Gen Makers is challenging the engineering skills shortage head on by uniting industry to:

2. Recognise and celebrate the best employers in the UK for engineering apprenticeships
3. Collectively inspire more young people (and influencers) to perceive engineering as a positive career choice – then signpost them to the best employers
Our movement involves facilitating a national community of like-minded engineering & manufacturing firms to…
1) Increase apprenticeship scheme success: by best practice sharing and benchmarking, ensuring apprenticeship schemes achieve business goals by meeting industry best in class standards.
