Automotive and Aerospace Sectors create new returners programme to enhance diversity and combat skills gap for SMEs
STEM Returners, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), ADS Group and Enginuity, have joined forces to enhance industry diversity and equality, and address the advanced manufacturing skills gap.
The project aims to support STEM professionals back to the Automotive or Aerospace industry after a career break. The returners programme facilitated by STEM Returners will provide a 12-week returnship for professionals to gain real work experience and mentoring. It aims to ease their transition back to work and may lead to permanent employment with the host organisation.
The project is open to all organisations in the Aero and/or Auto sector, however funding from Enginuity is available for SMEs in response to the realisation that while many small and medium-sized enterprises recognise the importance of diversity, they face unique challenges in implementing strategies to tackle this issue.
