Future of Work - West of England

Future of Work comes to Bristol and the West of England in 2025. Supported by partners including the West of England Mayoral Combined Authority, GKN Aerospace and the West of England Institute of Technology, the event is recruiting teachers, careers leads and students from more than 60 local secondary schools to attend, to "see inside" manufacturing and engineering jobs at companies across the region, discuss careers in these industries face-to-face and see how work is changing.

A cross-industry afternoon covering food & drink, construction, processing industries, and high-tech small firms follows a morning devoted to aerospace, defence and space.
Apprenticeship and graduate talks, videos, Q&A, catering and tours of the NCC and IAAPs research centres are included.
