Helping #ukmfg to run winning Apprenticeship Schemes via benchmarking, best practice sharing & an Employer Accreditation
Über uns
Next Gen Makers recognises the best employers in the UK for engineering apprenticeships with the Engineering Apprenticeships: Employer Accreditation - and helps any company to get there. A community led initiative, member companies engage in benchmarking and best practice sharing to run successful Apprenticeship Schemes which better attract and retain young talent, whilst shining a light on the best employers to inspire and connect the next generation. Through our Engineering Apprenticeships: Best Practice Programme, our goal is to enable engineering & manufacturing firms of all sizes to deliver the best possible apprentice experience whilst becoming great at attracting and retaining skilled apprentice talent. In collaboration with our strategic partner Make UK, our ‘Engineering Apprenticeships: Employer Accreditation’ recognises exemplar employers of engineering apprentices; helping young people to make more informed choices on where they pursue their apprenticeship, whilst enabling excellent employers to get recognised and stand out in the competitive world of attracting young talent. Our Engineering Apprenticeships: Excellent Employer careers platform showcases member companies to a minimum of x5 schools per company, increasing employer brand awareness and signposting of aspiring engineers to their opportunities, whilst helping to inform and inspire the next generation.

Thank you to Emily Wynne from Sheffield Forgemasters, Steven Taylor from 3DGBIRE and Andy Knight from WorldSkills UK for contributing to our Online Member Meet Up last week. It was a well-balanced session with different approaches to Reward and Recognition, making the ideas shared accessible for organisations of all sizes. Our Key Takeaways included: 💡 Reward and Recognition is highly valued among Gen Z and Gen Alpha 💡 Done well, Reward and Recognition can be fuel for instilling the right behaviours, values, and work ethic in Apprentices 💡 Ideas for how to Reward and Recognise can be scaled up or down to suit the size of the business and budget 💡 Take the time to invest in Reward and Recognition and it can play a part in equipping your organisation with the Skills needed for the future Thank you for taking your time to share ideas with us Sophie, Steve and Andy. Our next Online Member Meet Up will see two more guest speakers take on a different theme. This time we will examine Diverse Talent Pipelines - How and Where to find them. We look forward to welcoming STEM Returners and R&B Switchgear Group. If you are not currently a member of Next Gen Makers and would like to enquire, please get in touch via [email protected]

A spokesperson for the charity EngineeringUK says despite a rise in students sitting exams in computing there is a worrying decline in the uptake of other STEM subjects, particularly Design & Technology (D&T), important for young people considering a career in #engineering.

Vocational routes into employment are now being seen much more favourably by both parents and children alike, according to new research conducted by Enginuity UK. Additionally there is growing interest in #apprenticeships as a means to “earn while you learn.” Nearly 90% of parents and are now more interested in #vocational routes for their children to enter their chosen careers instead of the traditional university path. As for the children surveyed, 82% said they would be interested in more vocational routes to enter their chosen career. This shift is largely driven by the escalating costs associated with university education. For many parents, the prospect of saddling their children with substantial debt is becoming less appealing. Parents are also recognising that vocational education, particularly in #technology-based careers, offers a pragmatic and financially viable alternative. https://lnkd.in/e-pWYYDW #skills #engineering #education #stem #manufacturing #vocationallearning

Fantastic this morning to see the coverage on BBC News on 'Results Day' 🥳 They were brilliant to emphasise it was A-Level, T-Level and BTEC Results day.👏 Hearing from the students at Burnley College who were all great. Well done Neil Burrows they did you proud.👏 Covering all Results options and the student discussing her T-Level results was brilliant at explaining the qual for those who had not heard of t-levels. So refreshing to see all qualifications covered and discussed.👏 Ben Rowland raising the profile of all options available. Reminding Young people to make informed choices about what's right for them. It was only Charlie who slipped up at one point and refereed to it as A Level results day. But definitely progress which is great, more on #apprenticeships next year would be even better. Great to see awareness of #Tlevels increasing Congratulations to all getting results today, these results do not define you. You will have a life of careers and enjoy ! 😁 and #engineering and #manufacturing is definitely something to explore ... Just seen I missed the brilliant Holly Hobbs 🤳🏽 on ITV will have to check that out later. #resultsday #options #nextgen #careers
