Dedicated to the future of manufacturing

We know times are tough, but as the most powerful force backing UK manufacturing, we speak with businesses like yours every day and know exactly what matters to you. You won’t find a bigger champion of manufacturing than EEF.

We know that having the right kind of talent coming through the door is as important as allowing the talent you already have to flourish. We pride ourselves on the quality of the apprenticeships programmes and in-workplace training we produce. And because over a quarter of all UK manufacturers are EEF members, we are in a unique position to understand exactly the kind of skills apprentices need to fit into your business.

Filling your skills gap

We help tailor each apprentice development programme to meet your exact needs and can deliver it nationwide - on-site, at local colleges or at our dedicated Apprentice & Skills training centre.

From recruiting the right apprentice and developing tailored programmes through to ongoing support and assessment, we harness the passion and enthusiasm of young people in the industry to develop your future craft and technical engineers in a range of areas including:

• machining, welding and fabrication
• electrical/mechanical maintenance
• manufacturing technical support
