We were finalists in the Apprenticeships 4 England Awards, Thursday night in London with Lindsay McCurdy of Apps 4 England, and her Team. It was a fantastic evening, and we were thrilled to win highly commended in our category of Employer with 25 to 100 staff.
And with us, our friends In-Comm Training & Business Services who scooped GOLD in their category of Training provider with up to 250 learners - well done Gareth Jones and Team.
With all businesses in the region putting the skills gap as one of the main factors in stopping their business growth, then it has to come down to a continuing commitment from MiM members to promote and endorse upskilling and apprenticeships we are pleased to be part of this great work, and we will continue to take the apprenticeship message to the young to make sure we have the engineers of the future.
We are working with a great training provider, and have linked up with local schools to make sure that the teachers and the children are fully informed on the choices available.
