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.

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.
