Challenges facing the sector

Engineering and manufacturing are the beating heart of progress.

From pioneering aerospace programmes to world-class infrastructure and future-ready energy systems, these skills shape industries, economies, and everyday life. But with demand outstripping supply, businesses need sharper ways to access the expertise that keeps projects moving and production lines running.

Engineering and manufacturing are under pressure like never before. Global competition, digital transformation, and an ageing workforce mean skills are scarce while demand is soaring.

The challenges clients face:

  • Rising skills shortages across design, production, and advanced manufacturing.
  • Complex compliance, safety, and quality requirements.
  • Productivity risks from project delays and workforce gaps.
