“Future of Work: High-tech manufacturing”

is a campaign to teach parents, teachers, and students aged 11 to 18 about jobs in manufacturing, engineering and design. Star apprentices, star graduates and directors from great companies will help re-educate parents and teachers about the variety of jobs, what is involved, the skills they need, how they will change with AI and digitalisation, the high demand for people trained in these disciplines, the pay, conditions and future outlook.

The campaign is run by The ERA Foundation, Stirling Media, Fidelity Marketing with support from WMG, MAKE UK and others.

The talks and sessions are filmed and, using video of modern manufacturing operations and teams, distributed by digital and social media, including platforms like Tiktok and Instagram for teenagers.

Future of Work at the University of Warwick - October 2024

Future of Work aims to reach more than 600 STEM and D&T teachers, thousands of parents and +5 million social impressions (for young people) in year 1.

WMG is hosting a conference on 14 October at The Slate, University of Warwick.

Learn about these jobs, training pathways, connect with employers, understand more about AI’s effect on jobs, and network with D&T and STEM teachers.

"The engineering community needs to do more."

“The engineering community needs to do more to engage with parents, teachers and students about the varied and inspiring jobs available in the manufacturing sector,” says Andrew Everett, CEO of The ERA Foundation. “Attend this conference and you will learn a lot about the future of these careers, and may meet companies that can help your tech, design and STEM at your school.”
