How do we address the skills gap in engineering & manufacturing? Research findings and collaborative solutions.

The statistics are stark: Scotland needs 58% more engineers by 2027, and apprenticeship starts have fallen by 34%. What do we do about it?

Samantha Tonge from B2Be Different has authored a report on the skills gap and how to address it based on research from across the UK and interviews with experts on the topic from industry, education and organisations such as CeeD and NMIS.

This full-day event begins with Samantha presenting key insights from the report followed by a workshop bringing industry together to explore collaborative solutions to the skills gap and discuss practical steps the sector could take.
