EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES
National Manufacturing Day is a chance for UK manufacturers to open their doors and invite the local community and local schools to visit their sites for a day and experience what modern day manufacturing looks like. It will give students the chance to see that manufacturing can be both exciting and rewarding, using the latest in cutting edge digital technologies which to deliver highly skilled roles with salaries 12% above the national average.
To arrange a visit you can check on the postcode finder to find a local manufacturer that is taking part. Don’t worry if there aren’t any near you listed, Make UK will be able to find a suitable business near you to visit as more companies are signing up to take part every day. Just email nmd@makeuk.org and we can approach a nearby manufacturer on your behalf to set up a visit.

We have a number of resources in the run up to the day to be used in a classroom setting, or on the day itself if you are unable to make a trip to a site work.
