Policy Connect – Upskilling Industry: Manufacturing Productivity And Growth In England

The Manufacturing Commission calls for greater support for businesses to navigate further education reforms and upskill their workforce for a digital future.

The report makes recommendations to government, calling for:

  • Support for SMEs in the manufacturing sector to help upskill their workforce, including incentives to deliver T-Levels and host Skills Bootcamps.
  • Greater flexibility in the use of the Apprenticeship Levy funds, including ring-fencing of unused Levy funding for investment in wider upskilling.
  • A national campaign to increase the uptake of STEM subjects by women and people of minority ethnic backgrounds.
  • Appointment of a government manufacturing ‘Champion’ to raise awareness of the manufacturing sector in schools and promote the role that the manufacturing sector is playing in combatting the climate crisis.
