The recruitment shortage in manufacturing can be solved by opening up opportunities to diverse new recruits .
In the Skills and Demand in Industry report published by the Institution of Engineering and Technology , it was reported that the lack of diversity in these fields has contributed to the recruitment shortage .
87 % of respondents admitted to a lack of LGBTQIA +/ BAME diversity initiatives , and just 15 % said they made an effort to retain women in engineering and technical roles .
Sustainability and inclusivity have a lot in common and , as such , are stronger working together on the road to diversity . manufacturingdigital . com 87
