The Prime Minister saw EEF’s young apprentices learning the skills they need to take up the high-paid, high-skilled jobs of the future.
Terry Scuoler, chief executive of EEF, said that he was delighted to show the Prime Minister the result of manufacturing industry’s investment in skills and training at the training centre.
“We look forward to working in partnership with ministers to see how we can replicate this across the country,” he said.
“The government’s commitment to boost research and development and spending on transport will be a tonic for businesses up and the down the land. By signalling her government’s commitment to a modern industrial strategy the Prime Minister has made a huge step forward in support of Britain’s economic stability. We are looking forward to the publication of the white paper and the rapid implementation of the plans as it is critical that the whole of government works together to deliver this.
“The industrial strategy couldn’t be more important as many UK businesses face significant Brexit uncertainty and need as much reassurance about the government’s direction of travel as possible.”
Manufacturing Management is hosting a tour of the EEF training hub tomorrow (Tuesday 21 November). To find out more and to book your place, before time runs out, click here. Tour places are priced at £350 per person (£315 for groups of 3 or more).
