Manufacturing Apprenticeships: How can we rebuild the workforce?
With nearly 25% of the current UK engineering workforce expected to retire within the next four years, combined with the ever-growing challenge of the engineering skills gap, the need for apprenticeships has never been greater.
Joined by Adam Tipper, Managing Director and Co-owner at Next Gen Makers, our host Alex Edwards seeks to explore the experiences faced by apprentices and the best practices companies can deliver to retain young talent and rebuild the engineering workforce.

Women in Engineering: INWED24 Special
In a recent study by The Royal Society, in partnership with EngineeringUK, they found that in school students only 16% of girls said a career in engineering is suitable for someone like them compared to almost 44% of boys. Why is there such a stark difference between STEM uptake in males and females? And how can we resolve this?
For a special podcast episode launched to support #INWED24 and their #enhancedbyengineering campaign, our host Alex Edwards had the pleasure of being joined by Insha Shaikh, Mechanical Engineering student at University of Warwick and President of Warwick Women in Engineering and Science Society, to explore why adoption is so low in females, how we can change this, and Insha’s own experiences in engineering and tech.
