Tour EEF's world-class training hub in Aston, Birmingham, on 21 November. You will learn how to prepare your workforce for the changing manufacturing industry and hear from EEF representatives about how they are helping manufacturers meet these challenges at their state-of-the art training complex in central Birmingham.
The day will also involve a tour of the Technology Hub, with the chance to quiz apprentices on their experiences and see first-hand the latest in machining, virtual reality and integrated technology.
Industry 4.0 - the concept of implementing smart, interconnected factories using data and technology is enabling manufacturers to make huge leaps in productivity, efficiency and competitiveness. It’s shaping a drive for new skills and capability within the UK manufacturing workforce. Gone are the days when manufacturing was a low-skilled job or career option. The future manufacturing workforce will need to comprise people who are at the cutting edge of technological development with the capability of performing high-skill activities in areas such as R&D, low volume manufacture of complex/high value products, bringing new products to market – all whilst working in networks of organisations which are spread across several countries.
So,
- What will the manufacturing workforce of the future look like?
- What kinds of trends and developments in future manufacturing work can be expected?
- What skills and leadership capabilities are required to support the factories of the future?
This factory experience event will address these questions and more. Hosted at EEF’s Technology Training Hub in the Midlands - a new multi-million pound centre devoted entirely to attracting, developing and upskilling today’s and tomorrow’s future engineering and manufacturing workforce.
