October’s Marenet event brings skills issues to the fore, 17 October 2007
The ground-breaking Manufacturing, Engineering and Marine Skills Project (MEMSP) has been running for some years addressing the needs of skills development in the marine, engineering and manufacturing sectors within Hampshire and Isle of Wight. The annual Skills Festival for school children has gone from strength to strength and this year MareNet will be jointly hosting with MEMSP a VIP lunch for industry, training providers and business support organisations during the event. The ‘Investing In and Recruiting Tomorrow’s Workforce’ VIP lunch will take place on Wednesday 17th October 2007, starting promptly at 11.30am in the Richard’s Room at the Southampton Rose Bowl Conference Centre (junction 7 of the M27).
The event will focus on skills and recruitment in the marine and engineering sectors and presentations will include an overview of current workforce development projects by Angela Wright, Managing Director of Solent Skills Quest, details of new and emerging skills initiatives from Bill Sutton of SEMTA and a case study in recruiting and mentoring technology graduates from Steve Williams of NDS. The event will include a panel question and answer session covering all aspects of skills and workforce development.
The event, which is free of charge, will conclude with a networking buffet lunch and will finish at 1330 giving delegates an opportunity to visit the Skills Festival.
