The Make It in Manufacturing campaign was launched by The Manufacturing Institute in 2006 to shake off the myths and negative perceptions that surround the sector and show the outside world, particularly tomorrow's workforce and potential investors, just how much modern industry has to offer.

Modern manufacturing has become much more technologically advanced in recent years and many of the jobs within the sector are highly skilled. The sector presents exciting opportunities for a young person.

To help recruit the brightest and best young people, the Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWDA) and European Regional Development Fund are funding a major expansion of the campaign.

The involvement of manufacturing businesses in the Make It initiative is key to its success.

We would like to thank the following companies for their support:
