Hello and welcome to the first instalment of EEF's apprentice blog!

So who are EEF? Well basically we're an organisation dedicated to the future of manufacturing. Everything we do is designed to help manufacturing businesses evolve, innovate and compete in a fast-changing world.

The UK is the sixth largest manufacturing nation and the industry is responsible for 55% of all UK exports.

Let’s put things into perspective, the UK is the sixth largest manufacturing nation and the industry is responsible for 55% of all UK exports. Manufacturing is huge! And that is the size of your apprentice opportunity.

With a global reputation for quality that dates back to the start of Britain’s Industrial Revolution, it’s our responsibility to enhance that reputation which can be partly grown through investing in the next generation of manufacturing apprentices.

This website is designed to not only unlock the door to your future, but to also guide and direct employers in their search to find aspiring raw talent.

The opportunities are endless and the support network is available if you’re considering an apprenticeship in manufacturing.
