Emerging Skills Project
Funded by the Department of Education, the Emerging Skills Project is piloting our Skills Value Chain approach across key regions in the UK. Working closely with Institutes of Technology, we are developing high-quality modular training courses focused on upskilling employees for work with new and emerging technologies, like robotics and AI, electrification, additive manufacturing, and advanced composites.
Developing future emerging skills
The Emerging Skills Project (ESP) is a pilot programme forming part of the UK Government’s transformation of further and technical education in England.
Cutting-edge training for all businesses
The Department for Education (DfE) with the High Value Manufacturing (HVM) Catapult is providing training focused on new skillsets needed for smart manufacturing throughout our supply chains.
Levelling up your employees
Benefit from free access to technical training units. There will be no charge to the employer or employee in our pilot phase.
Back to Manufacturing the future workforce
Transforming the future of UK manufacturing
As the UK recovers from the effects of the pandemic, the national economy needs a proactive and well-connected skills system that can adapt to the changing needs of an ever more agile and responsive workforce. This will create opportunities for talent at all ages and develop resilience in UK manufacturing supply chains.
