Introduction

Kirsty Clode, Chair, WiME

Agenda

Women into Manufacturing and Engineering

The campaign so far

The skills gap

My request of you

The next event

The opportunity

Manufacturing contributes 10.5% of our employment in the Humber (285,000 people) with a value of £16.2bn

There is a high demand for people with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) qualifications in the Humber because they are very useful to our local industries. At present women are under-represented in these roles.

The skills gap

Information taken from Engineering UK Report 2016

The gender gap

UK engineering workforce

Britain currently ranks 28th

(out of 28 countries) in Europe

Gender gap in the engineering pipeline

Survey of 10 to 14 year olds

70%

Women into Manufacturing and Engineering (WiME)

WiME was developed to start addressing this issue - attracting female talent to STEM careers in Yorkshire and the Humber is critical to the region's success

Careers Advisors event Public events targeting girls and women

Current Partner companies

Our events

Delegates have the opportunity to:

Speak with women like them that currently work in manufacturing and engineering

See and talk about the work environment with current employees

Speak with Careers Advisors from the National Careers Service about the opportunities in the Humber region

Our Attendees

My request of you

We are planning a South Bank event at Scunthorpe UTC Friday 20th October for careers advisers/teachers etc Saturday 21st October for the public (ladies + girls and parents

Help us by - identifying the girls/ladies who should attend - ensuring they know about the event and tell them how useful it could be - ensuring your Careers Advisers come along

If you want to be 'a leader in industry for a day' contact us. Our partner companies are eager to show you around

Round Table Questions

Question 1 – WiME does not have the capacity to attend all schools. How can we get the biggest impact to ensure that all are getting

the information without WiME physically being there?

Question 2 - 40% of our attendees are 35 to 55 years old How can we best tap in to this talent? What are the routes back into manufacturing and engineering

if they are returning after a break? What are the routes into manufacturing and engineering

if they are new to this industry?

Thank you

The Challenge

The hourglass economy

Increased demand for both top and lower rungs of skills ladder UK demand projections by 2024: • 54% of all jobs will need level 4+ skills • 2.65 million job openings in engineering companies Position in Hull and the Humber: • In Hull and the Humber, the manufacturing sector

contributes some £3.5 billion of total output; 26% of total sectoral output – one of the highest in the UK

• However, the region has the lowest proportion of highly skilled residents in Y&H & a high proportion of NEET when compared to UK average

• ONS projections suggest that Hull and the Humber could struggle to meet the total demand for labour from its own population unless we do more to address some of the challenges

More to do

“…young adults surveyed who recalled greater levels of contact with employers whilst at school were significantly less likely to be NEET and earned, on average, 18% more than peers who recalled no such activities.”

Latest research finds 86% reduction in chance of being NEET following 4 or more encounters

Only in 40% of schools do young people have one encounter each year

The role of employers in inspiring and

encouraging the next generation of

engineers Businesses working together in partnership with each other and with education is, I believe, the most effective way to build a sustainable UK skills system to reduce unemployment and fill the skills gap.
