Our impact

Enginuity is dedicated to closing the skills gap in UK engineering and manufacturing, creating a thriving and more productive sector that is at the forefront of delivering solutions to society’s greatest challenges.

Our focus

We work with all parts of the skills ecosystem: employers, educators, policymakers, and third-party organisations. We focus on the challenges these groups say are important:

Employers are struggling to fill current skills gaps
Employers aren’t able to manage future skills demands
The education system is not meeting the employer's needs, particularly for SMEs
The education system is fragmented and confusing, requiring demystification
Solving cross-industry skills challenges requires a 'sector connector'.

We believe we are uniquely positioned to address these areas as the only organisation in the sector that is independently funded. We are funded by EAL, the skills partner of the engineering and manufacturing sector. This means we are:

Entirely impact driven

We are only interested in the impact of our projects on the areas our beneficiaries care about. We track impact using our Theory of Change model.

Solution agnostic

Being impact focused allows us to be open to explore innovative, new approaches. We can follow what the data tells us, as we are not committed to one intervention method.

Focused on the whole sector

We look holistically at the impact across the whole sector to ensure that that interventions don’t succeed in one industry at the cost of another.

Our theory of change

We measure projects, funding initiatives, partnerships and our wider societal impact using a Theory of Change model. This allows us to measure our outputs, outcomes, and our progress towards the delivery of a thriving and more productive engineering and manufacturing sector that benefits society.

An image that reads Beneficiaries & their objectives to educational institutions, employers, the workforce and policy makers to activities, to connect, curate, and deliver to primary outcomes to secondary outcomes to industry outcomes to a more productive workforce and a thriving workforce.

As an organisation, our driving force is the impact we make. Our Theory of Change model empowers us to evaluate interventions, activities, and projects to ensure that they are aligned with our core mission: closing the skills gaps in engineering and manufacturing.
