Developing the Composites Workforce, 24th May 2018, Nottingham

This workshop, run by the Workforce Development Group of the Composites Leadership Forum, aims to identify both the skills shortages faced by industry now and to capture ideas about future needs along with views on the best ways to address those shortages in time.

Staff development is a vital part of running any successful business and is key for your success and that of the composites industry in the UK. Retraining and upskilling existing employees via CPD is as key to this success as training those new to the workforce, whether that's ensuring composites knowledge in relevant degree courses or engaging in apprenticeship schemes.

Topics Covered
* The growing range of education and training opportunities at all levels.
* Short term workforce challenges that are affecting business performance.
* The potential demands on education and training providers as new technologies and markets emerge to enable early action that ensures the UK remains competitive.
* The scope for Level 2 apprenticeships or alternative solutions to meet industry need for shop floor training.
* The market need for higher level and degree apprenticeships.
* Interest in the proposed suite of modular CPD courses being developed in response to demand at graduate and post-graduate levels.

The programme for this event will be annouced soon. Currently the event will begin with registration from 9am for a 9.45am start and run though until 4pm, however this is subject to change.
