[KNDS UK @WFEL_bridges]

In celebration of @MakeUK_ National Manufacturing Day, we've opened our doors to inspire the next generation of talent and demonstrate the breadth of jobs available and the variety of pathways to a career here.

Such is the popularity of our offering, we had to extend the day to a week-long programme, welcoming schools, colleges and local job centres on site to showcase modern manufacturing.

The feedback is remarkable: "Some have never been more engaged with a topic. You managed to reach a group that can be notoriously hard to engage—sometimes they sit quietly, staring and seeming uninterested—but you clearly captured their attention, and the impact is evident."

If you would like to take part in next year's event, register your interest now.

Today we opened our doors to the next generation of innovators.👷‍♀️

To mark National Manufacturing Day in the UK, we welcomed local students to our headquarters in Dronfield for a behind-the-scenes look at how precision, passion and infrared expertise come together in real-world manufacturing.

From design to delivery, our team shared what it means to build globally trusted temperature measurement solutions and how we solve complex customer challenges through infrared innovation, helping industries See Degrees Differently.

We’re proud to continue supporting future talent and showcase how careers in STEM directly contribute to solving real-world industrial challenges.
