Free skills bootcamp to be delivered with backing of banking group and WMCA

A free of charge skills bootcamp has been designed by MTC Training in partnership with Lloyds Bank and the West Midlands Combined Authority to improve the productivity and efficiency of manufacturing businesses in the region.

The 16-week Skills Bootcamp Manufacturing Efficiency programme aims to support managers and leaders looking to upskill and optimise their organisation's processes and output with its unique combination of face-to-face training, self-study and online and remote learning.

Participating businesses will also benefit from line walks facilitated by MTC's manufacturing support services consultancy experts, who will help delegates with the initial identification of inefficiencies within their workplace across business activity and technology, as well as continued guidance to enhance skills development through the programme.

During the 16-week programme, the delegates will build their skillsets in management, leadership and analytics across eight areas including costs, process Improvement, health and safety in the workplace, workplace organisation, visual management, standard work and process monitoring, problem solving, and continuous improvement and innovation.

Businesses can be benefitted by the consistent input from the MTC Transformation Team which would usually cost SMEs around £1500.

Other benefits include rapid skills development, driving business improvement initiatives, and knowledge of manufacturing efficiency. The successful completion of the programme will be recognised by Continuous Professional Development Accreditation (CPD)

Dave Smedley, commercial training manager at MTC Training said: “MTC Training is drawing on its subject matter experts from across the Manufacturing Technology Centre to ensure that the programme provides maximum return on time and investment for participating businesses.

“Our planning of the programme empowers delegates to start making an immediate impact on their business operations, whilst giving them the tools and techniques to sustain efficiency as they look to develop to leadership roles”.
