Helping manufacturers run winning Apprenticeship Schemes
Helping manufacturers run winning Apprenticeship Schemes
Next Gen Makers is challenging the engineering skills shortage head on by uniting industry to:
1. Help more engineering and manufacturing companies to run best in class apprenticeship schemes that better attract and retain young talent
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. This is achieved via our Engineering Apprenticeships: Best Practice Programme, backed by our strategic partners and national manufacturing organisation Make UK
