The Manufacturing Institute’s charitable Make It in Manufacturing campaign is helping to create a pipeline of talent for UK manufacturing by promoting the sector as an interesting and rewarding career choice for young people. Through a network of local, national and multi-national business partners the Make It campaign shows young people that modern manufacturing is a global enterprise founded on a basis of innovation, creativity and smart thinking.

By connecting young people to manufacturing companies in their local area, the Make It campaign overturns negative perceptions surrounding the sector by engaging event participants in hands-on activities through the Make It Enterprising Challenges. These practical, one day events give young people the opportunity to form their own mini-manufacturing companies, gaining advice and guidance from a range of industry advocates and learning more about the creative and aspirational employment opportunities manufacturing can offer.
This event – The BAE Systems Make It in Aerospace Enterprising Challenge – was delivered as a partnership between The Manufacturing Institute, the Northwest Aerospace Alliance (NWAA), and BAE Systems Munitions. It is part of a series of themed challenges delivered by The Manufacturing Institute’s Make It campaign, and by the NWAA’s Take Off in Aerospace programme, to encourage young people across the region to consider careers in the UK’s thriving aerospace industry.
