The Aluminium Federation (ALFED), in collaboration with M&C, is pleased to announce the launch of an important survey designed to gather ALFED member views on education and training needs across the aluminium and alloy sector. This initiative aims to create a clear strategy to deliver practical, high-quality metallurgical training that meets the evolving needs of the industry.

The survey focuses on identifying preferred modes of training — including hands-on, classroom, lab-based, and in-house options — as well as areas of interest such as casting, mechanical testing, failure analysis, and consultancy requirements.

Your input is vital in shaping a responsive and future-ready training programme that supports skills development and knowledge transfer across the sector.
