Fabricating the Future: Building Tomorrow’s Manufacturing Workforce
Supporting the growth of manufacturing in the London Economic Region
Manufacturing is thriving in the London Economic Region, helping grow our economy and providing ample job opportunities. However, manufacturers currently face a significant challenge filling available jobs however. Adding to the issue are the thousands of people in the London region who are not working and aren’t currently seeking employment. If even a fraction of those people were encouraged and supported toward a career in manufacturing, we could help overcome that challenge.
With support from our partners in the Local Employment Planning Council (LEPC), Literacy Link South Central is pleased to announce that we are developing new modules to support adult literacy learners on the road to a career in manufacturing.
More manufacturers have announced their intention to build facilities in the London region in the months and years ahead, which means the manufacturing role in local employment will only continue to grow. When these modules are released in the spring of 2020, we hope that they become a building block for both employment-bound literacy learners and local employers.
