ECMS

The Elite Centre for Manufacturing Skills (ECMS) is an employer-led training facility located in the Black Country. Its purpose is to support the UK industry by enhancing the skills and knowledge of the workforce, particularly in engineering, manufacturing, casting, and metal forming sectors.

With a strong emphasis on the region's industrial heritage, the Elite Centre aims to address skills gaps by offering specialised training and upskilling opportunities.

The Elite Centre operates through a Hub and Spoke model, consisting of two main centres. The Hub is situated at the University of Wolverhampton's Springfield Campus, while the National Foundry Training Centre is located in Tipton. These centres provide short courses and training programs.

The ECMS receives funding from The Black Country Local Enterprise Partnership and is a collaboration between the University of Wolverhampton, Dudley College, Cast Metals Federation, Confederation of British Metal forming, and Institute of Cast Metals Engineers.
