Make It in Manufacturing is a charitable campaign that is designed to promote job opportunities and employment in the UK's manufacturing sector as aspirational and rewarding. Delivered by The Manufacturing Institute, Make It was established in 2006 and to date has worked with over 35,000 young people and over 40 manufacturing companies to help show that there is a lot more to manufacturing than dirty factories and repetitive working days.

Make It is designed as a multi-platform campaign that engages it's audience through events, resources, publications, public relations, social media and online at www.makeit.org.uk

Through participation at a Make It event, young people experience hands-on, new product development and by taking part in a Make It Enterprising Challenges can experience running their own mini-manufacturing businesses and test their powers of innovation, creativity and teamwork.

Sponsors to date include Rolls-Royce, Siemens, BAE Systems, Jaguar Land Rover, Premier Foods and Sellafield as well as a wide range of other manufacturing companies to show the widest range of opportunities the sector has to offer.

In the future Make It aims to expand the campaign across the UK and out into primary schools. The campaign has a range of educational resources, YouTube videos (search MakeItUK) and can be contacted via the official website or Facebook.
