Opening doors for future makers | Thursday 28th September

ABOUT NMD

Following the overwhelming success of last year’s National Manufacturing Day, on Thursday 28th September 2023, Manufacturers throughout the UK will once again be opening their doors. Members of the public will be invited into factories and sites for a behind-the-scenes look at how Manufacturers’ facilities work, as part of this UK-wide Open House.

Local communities will have the chance to see the potential careers and jobs on offer within the wonderfully diverse manufacturing sector, as employers engage with all age groups – from school leavers, graduates, people looking to reskill and the local residents.

For Make UK and Manufacturers, this is an opportunity to showcase the diversity of a truly fascinating sector,  the range of highly skilled jobs on offer and the amazing opportunities for reskilling and career development within manufacturing in the UK.

Manufacturers will participate in a number of ways, from a single tour to a full programme of events, with Make UK assisting every step of the journey.

Together, we will demonstrate the value of a manufacturing apprenticeship as an alternative route post school/college. National Manufacturing Day is a celebration of all of the industry’s sub-sectors including automotive, food and drink, aerospace, defence, chemical and pharma.

Put the date in your diary – we look forward to sharing this great day.
