Introduction Kirsty Clode, Chair, WiME
Agenda Women into Manufacturing and Engineering The skills gap The campaign so far The next event My request of you
The opportunity Manufacturing contributes 10.5% of our employment in the Humber (285,000 people) with a value of £16.2bn There is a high demand for people with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) qualifications in the Humber because they are very useful to our local industries. At present women are under-represented in these roles.
The skills gap Information taken from Engineering UK Report 2016
The gender gap UK engineering workforce Britain currently ranks 28 th (out of 28 countries) in Europe
Gender gap in the engineering pipeline
Survey of 10 to 14 year olds 70% <20%
Women into Manufacturing and Engineering (WiME) WiME was developed to start addressing this issue - attracting female talent to STEM careers in Yorkshire and the Humber is critical to the region's success Careers Advisors event Public events targeting girls and women

Round Table Questions Question 1 – WiME does not have the capacity to attend all schools. How can we get the biggest impact to ensure that all are getting the information without WiME physically being there? Question 2 - 40% of our attendees are 35 to 55 years old How can we best tap in to this talent? What are the routes back into manufacturing and engineering if they are returning after a break? What are the routes into manufacturing and engineering if they are new to this industry?
Thank you

The Challenge www.tomorrowsengineers.org.uk
The hourglass economy Increased demand for both top and lower rungs of skills ladder UK demand projections by 2024: • 54% of all jobs will need level 4+ skills • 2.65 million job openings in engineering companies Position in Hull and the Humber: • In Hull and the Humber, the manufacturing sector contributes some £3.5 billion of total output; 26% of total sectoral output – one of the highest in the UK • However, the region has the lowest proportion of highly skilled residents in Y&H & a high proportion of NEET when compared to UK average • ONS projections suggest that Hull and the Humber could struggle to meet the total demand for labour from its own population unless we do more to address some of the challenges
More to to do “…young adults surveyed who recalled greater levels of contact with employers whilst at school were significantly less likely to be NEET and earned, on average, 18% more than peers who recalled no such activities.” Latest research finds 86% reduction in chance of being NEET following 4 or more encounters Only in 40% of schools do young people have one encounter each year
