Testimonials

The skills levels in Staffordshire are significantly below the national average and that is seriously detrimental to our competitiveness. This initiative will help to address the skills shortages currently experienced by many companies and will offer a wider range of expertise that the marketplace demands. It’s not just about NVQs; it is a whole business solution to training needs. It’s a streamlined approach that could change the way that we do business in Staffordshire.”

“I found that I really enjoyed working with the youngsters, passing on my own skills and guiding them towards a worthwhile future. There are fewer jobs available at the low-skilled end of the trade these days and it’s harder for young people to get that first break. We teach them the importance of getting as much training as possible all through your working life.”

“The great thing is that everything we learn is relevant. The work here is complex and there are a lot of processes involved. If we find ways to do things better and increase efficiency then that has got to be a good thing. Even when you are using tried and tested manufacturing methods you should look for improvement.”
