Welcome to the Education & Development Zone at MACH 2024

Encouraging young engineers into the manufacturing industry has sadly been a problem for some years now. Even prior to the pandemic there were concerns insufficient numbers were viewing the industry as a viable career option. With everything that has happened over the past four years, it is now more important than ever to change attitudes and emphasise the real benefits a career in manufacturing can offer.

At MACH, we understand the importance of inspiring the next generation of engineers. To give this the proper focus, MACH 2024 will have a dedicated Education & Development (E&D) Zone within which you find a host of exciting exhibits from organisers eager to encourage the next generation of UK engineers.

There will be special guided tours of the exhibition for students, and these will be led by apprentices and graduates working within the industry.

All the members of the Manufacturing Technologies Association and their employees are part of the supply chain that creates wealth for the UK. Every aspect of our lives is dependent on manufactured goods and engineered solutions; for that we can thank the machine tool. Every product we use or buy has to be manufactured, which can only happen if we have machines that can make those machines and parts.

What’s Featured in the E&D Zone at MACH 2024?
