On Thursday, 26th September 2024, manufacturers across the UK will throw open their doors for National Manufacturing Day, a celebration of the cutting-edge technologies, skilled jobs, and innovation that define this vibrant sector. Organised by Make UK, this event provides a rare opportunity for the public to step inside factories and manufacturing sites, showcasing the breadth of career opportunities available, from apprenticeships to advanced roles, and the crucial role manufacturing plays in the economy.
At Fitfactory, we're excited to participate in this nationwide initiative, offering an inside look at the often-overlooked world of software development and its integral role in modern manufacturing. Our software solutions drive efficiency, innovation, and growth across various manufacturing industries, making us a key player in the sector's continued success.
Showcasing Careers and Opportunities
National Manufacturing Day isn’t just about celebrating the industry; it's about engaging with the local community, students, parents, and educators. The day will highlight the diverse career paths that manufacturing offers to school leavers, graduates, and those looking to reskill. Whether you’re interested in traditional manufacturing roles or technology-driven careers, this event demonstrates the exciting potential the industry holds.
At Fitfactory, we're particularly passionate about promoting manufacturing apprenticeships as a valuable alternative to traditional education routes. We also recognise the importance of diversity and inclusion within the sector. That’s why we’re committed to encouraging women and other underrepresented groups to explore the wide range of opportunities manufacturing has to offer.
Why Attend National Manufacturing Day?
Manufacturing is at the heart of the UK economy, contributing to everything from automotive to aerospace, food production to pharmaceuticals. Yet, it remains an often misunderstood sector.
