The DfE has appointed the High Value Manufacturing Catapult (HVM Catapult) to lead a new project addressing future skills gaps in manufacturing and engineering. Working alongside Institutes of Technology – collaborations between employers, universities and colleges – HVM Catapult will develop cutting-edge training content that focuses on new and emerging technologies such as robotics and AI, additive manufacturing, and composite materials. The pilot, which started last month, will run to December 2021, with potential rollout thereafter on a national scale.
