As headline sponsor of Made in Chesterfield we were delighted to once again host the launch of the initiative here at our Infirmary Road campus. With a heartspace full of employers we were also proud to announce the launch of our brand new Employer Partnership programme, welcoming a dozen employers to our partnership fold to kick things off in style.
Made in Chesterfield 2025
The Made in Chesterfield Festival for 2025 will take place from 25 September to the end of October. This festival aims to connect Chesterfield’s students with real-world experiences in local advanced manufacturing and engineering businesses. It introduces the Innovation Challenge, where students team up with local manufacturers to solve real-world problems. The festival also showcases the links between the education sector and business, aiming to inspire a pipeline of future talent to consider a career in manufacturing.
Working better together. That’s it. That’s the simple aim we have as the bridge between the next generation of workforce and the fantastic variety of employers we are lucky to have in our region.
From large organisations to SMEs to the micro businesses, we all have something we can contribute to inspire the next generation and our partner programme is here to recognise just that.
A dozen employers have kicked off the campaign, including:
As a partner organisation businesses can collaborate with us in various ways, no matter how big or small your company, and they all benefit you.
