Insight & policy

Understanding shifting engineering and manufacturing skills demands so that policy can better meet employers' changing needs

Enginuity has a unique approach to sector data alongside a deep understanding of the skills needs of UK engineering and manufacturing employers. We represent the needs of employers at a policy level to ensure that it keeps pace with change.

The Policy Centre

Inform and represent

We hear directly from beneficiaries in our Enginuity Strategy Advisory Group and SME Advisory Group, invest in new approaches to occupational and skills data, and work with industries from across the engineering and manufacturing sector to:

Provide insights and recommendations on the skills that are increasingly in demand, so businesses, sectors and government can plan ahead
Help businesses in the engineering and manufacturing sector across the four nations of the UK understand the implications of skills and education policy developments
Influence skills and education policy on the behalf of engineering and manufacturing employers, as well as the sector’s current and future workforce
Tackle shared cross-sector skills challenges together.
