GMIoT discusses how higher technical education and employer partnerships are producing world-class UK talent with Manufacturing & Engineering Magazine

We’re pleased to share that the Greater Manchester Institute of Technology (GMIoT) has been featured in Manufacturing & Engineering Magazine (MEM), the lead media sponsor for this year’s Advanced Engineering trade show at the NEC in Birmingham.

Claire Foreman, Director of the GMIoT, was recently interviewed by the editor of MEM to discuss how Level 4 and 5 pathways are helping employers meet skills gaps across manufacturing and engineering sectors.

The in-depth feature uncovers why strong employer-education partnerships are vital and considers the importance of creating a curriculum designed by industry, for industry.

All of this aligns with the GMIoT mission to produce a talent pipeline of highly-skilled, work-ready people for now and the future – in manufacturing, engineering, digital and beyond.
