Creating new pathways into welding careers

Enginuity has launched Enspiring Futures, a new funding programme offering up to £80,000 to help organisations establish accessible, practical training spaces for young people currently excluded from mainstream education and training, and will support organisations to create or enhance dedicated facilities. By enabling more places where young people can gain practical skills that local employers need, Enspiring Futures aims to strengthen the pipeline of talent entering welding roles. It also helps the engineering and manufacturing sector meet future demand.

With best regards
