What is the purpose of the Enginuity Alliance?

The Enginuity Alliance, a movement of like-minded organisations and individuals, is committed to working together to remove the barriers preventing the industry developing the skills it needs. Alliance members benefit from and contribute to the charity’s work, shaping the agenda and amplifying projects' impact

The shared challenge

Aging skilled workforce

75% of the sector’s 2043 workforce are already in work.

Changing technology

By 2025, 50% of all employees will need reskilling due to the adoption of new technologies in manufacturing.

Time investment

It can take up to 4 years to develop a Level 3 technician in engineering and manufacturing.

Why should you join the Enginuity Alliance?

You will have the satisfaction of knowing that you are part of the collective action to solve the skills challenges facing the engineering and manufacturing sector as a whole. You will also:

  • Have a voice in the projects that Enginuity funds, and in national skills policy

Share your thoughts on key issues

We work with core government agencies and other partners to understand the sector’s thoughts on the key issues impacting skills challenges. Responding to consultations is only open to Enginuity Alliance members.

Current projects

National Occupational Standards (NOS)

This year, Enginuity is conducting routine reviews of the NOS for Semi-Conductor Manufacturing, along with mini reviews for Abrasive Blasting Operators and Laser Cutting Machine Operators. These reviews will assess the current NOS provisions, identifying gaps and necessary amendments to ensure they meet the evolving needs of the industries they serve.
