Sumitomo Demag, one of the sponsors of the 2016 program, invited Broanmain Plastics to Ben Ainsley Racing to learn more about, this initiative which supports UK plastics industry.
During the day attendees explored the issues facing UK industry such as the productivity gap, the result of a skills mismatch, the the difference between what skills we have and the skills we need.
We looked at ways to attract high flyers at school to study STEM subjects via apprenticeships and University. As well as how the industry, manufacturers and suppliers, can invest, train and develop their employees and infrastructures to better meet its needs, both in the short and long term.
