Insight and policy

- Help businesses in the engineering and manufacturing sector across the four nations of the UK understand the implications of skills and education policy developments
- Influence skills and education policy on the behalf of engineering and manufacturing employers, as well as the sector’s current and future workforce
- Tackle shared cross-sector skills challenges together.
