Engineering Tomorrow: Future Skills in Advanced Manufacturing & Engineering
25th November 2025
Starts at 1:00pm
Ends at 2:00pm
What skills does your workforce need now and in the future in the Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering sector?
With automation, sustainability considerations and the development of new technologies in areas such as aerospace and defence, there is more for businesses to consider and prepare for than ever before.
Join our Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP) team and Somerset Chamber of Commerce at our online focus group to discuss future skills for these industries, plus how to attract new entrants, Gen Z and their expectations from employers.
Why join us?
Local Skills Improvement Plans (LSIPs) place employers at the heart of local skills systems. Colleges and universities are training your future workforce, so join us to discuss what skills you need from your staff now, and in the future. Your insights will help us work with education providers and partners to shape provision and courses moving forward. Business West Chambers of Commerce is working in partnership with Somerset Chamber of Commerce to deliver the Somerset LSIP.
