Why manufacturing?

Look around you:

  • How much of what you see has been manufactured?
  • Who was responsible for the design?
  • How was it all organised?

If these are the sorts of questions that interest you, even though you may know little about the range of jobs available in industry, then please explore the ISMM opportunity in depth.

The Government View

A strong manufacturing sector is a vital part of the British economy. It contributes a fifth of our national income and nearly two thirds of our exports, employing almost four million people. It includes many of our most innovative businesses and is a major source of growth in productivity, exports and R & D.
At their best, our manufacturing companies, big and small, are forward looking: they invest in new technologies and equipment, they provide world class skills and training to their workforces, and win new markets and new opportunities.

Doesn't that sound like the environment for an exciting career?
