Micro-Epsilon lends its voice to the ‘Make it in Manufacturing’ Campaign

Recently expanded with funding from the NWDA (North West Development Agency) and the European Regional Development Fund, Make It in Manufacturing was set up to attract the brightest and best new talents into manufacturing, promoting manufacturing as an exciting and rewarding career for young people.

The campaign, which was launched by The Manufacturing Institute in 2006, is trying to shake off the myths and negative perceptions that surround the manufacturing sector and to demonstrate to the outside world, particularly tomorrow’s workforce and potential investors, just how much modern industry has to offer. As a result of the recent support from NWDA and ERDF, the campaign is growing to include extra planned events and activities for youngsters across the North West region, alongside a series of radio adverts featuring positive role models from the sector.

A number of high profile manufacturing companies are already lending their support to the campaign, including BAE Systems, ENER-G, Jaguar Land Rover, Urenco, Aircelle, Siemens, Robert Wiseman Dairies and the Northwest Aerospace Alliance.
