Description

Accessing the right skills and finding the right talent remain stubborn blockages for UK manufacturers and with the UK’s new migration rules, manufacturers will be restricted to UK talent only for many technical and vocational skills.

The number of young people emerging from school post-16 is projected to fall in the future and UK manufacturers will need to broaden their approach to attract and retain workers from a wider talent pool.

Also, with 80% of the employees who manufacturers will train in the future already in the workforce, businesses will need to upskill their current workforces with new digital and technical skills as new technologies emerge and this will require a holistic view of the workplace – from young entrants, to mid-career employees to older workers.

This workshop will highlight some examples of good practice and success stories with some key practical examples of all levels of the workforce - Genz: one year one, shining the light on labour markets and making the most of your generation X factor!

 

Key Takeaways
  • Find the untapped labour markets.
  • Get more skilled workers for the same/less amount of effort.
  • Rebooting the skills of your mid career workers.
  • Regulate retirement by tackling the tricky questions and transferring knowledge.
