The West Midlands has long been recognised as a powerhouse of UK manufacturing. With a rich industrial heritage and a modern reputation for innovation, the region is home to world-leading businesses in automotive, aerospace, advanced engineering, and cutting-edge technologies.
However, this won't always be the case if we can't secure the next generation of engineers and manufacturers. With a widening skills gap and manufacturers struggling to access and retain new talent, it's never been more important to show young people the exciting and rewarding career paths that manufacturing in the West Midlands can offer.
