    About Enginuity

    Enginuity is a charity dedicated to helping employers find new ways to close the skills gap. Our origins lie in the formation of the Engineering Industry Training Board in 1964. We help employers ensure the sector has a highly skilled, globally competitive workforce now and in the future.

    We offer a range of services to close the skills gap in Engineering and Manufacturing. These include apprenticeship support, comprehensive job role and skills comparator tools and policy influence across the four nations of the UK.

    What recent achievements of your organisation are you most proud of?

    We are working hard on a new community initiative. The Enginuity Alliance is a movement of like-minded organisations and individuals committed to working together to remove the barriers preventing the industry from developing the skills it needs. 

    Alliance members will benefit from and contribute to our charitable work, shaping our agenda and amplifying individual project impact. You can find out more about this here.

    What initiatives are you working on that you’re particularly excited about?

    The Enginuity team are always busy working on new initiatives but we are particularly excited about the launch of the Steph on Skills podcast powered by Enginuity.  At Enginuity we are creating our own media channels to raise the profile of the sector.


    The podcast that dives into the fascinating world of skills, innovation, and the future of engineering and manufacturing. Hosted by renowned broadcaster Steph McGovern, each episode brings insightful conversations with industry leaders, game-changers, and those shaping the skills landscape.

    What role do you see Enginuity playing in the future of your industry?

    Engineering has a vital role to play in developing solutions to the significant challenges we face as a society. How do we reverse climate change? How can we better use the limited resources we have? How can we make the most of AI and other new technologies in a safe way? Enginuity exists to make sure engineers have the right skills to help us find solutions to all these questions.
