Engineers & Manufacturers Assemble -Onsite tour of Parmley Graham Digitisation Discussion of Community Project
November 23, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 12:30 pm
Engineering Manufacturing Network in collaboration with Durham University Business Teesside University School, JAG Design and Parmley Graham are looking to engage with like-minded manufacturing companies across the Northeast. The project is to review and identify the barriers our sector face daily. Although the project has five areas in which research is being carried out, two of the research areas will impact members of the Engineering Manufacturing Network.
Understand the challenges faced by local manufacturers in upskilling their employees while embracing digital transformation and in attracting a future workforce to manufacturing.
Assess the potential of a digital platform in changing the community’s perception towards manufacturing, improving skills, reducing the digital divide and improving youth engagement in manufacturing.
We propose to bring a group of like-minded manufacturers together from across the Northeast and discuss issues around the two topics. The first event will be hosted at Parmley Graham, Gateshead |Site 23rd November .At the event, we can openly discuss the challenges faced by manufacturers and give examples of digital applications that have improved productivity and throughput. Interested parties will be informed of the date and time in November once confirmed.
This project will enable the companies involved to contribute to the direction of government investment for manufacturing in the next decade. We will also examine what skills our workforce will need as we embrace technology across the shop floor and beyond.
If you would like to be involved and set out the plan for manufacturing for the next decade, please get in touch with kaye@emn.org.uk at the EMN and inform her of your interest or register via the eventbrite link below.
