‘Grow your own’ next generation of machine operators webinar
Oct
25
11:30 AM11:30

‘Grow your own’ next generation of machine operators webinar

This is a follow-on from the brainstorming meetings at Leamington and Warrington, about tapping into the new T-Levels scheme for 16-19 year olds as a potential way to address machine-minder skills shortages.

This free webinar for WFF Members will be led by Anna Sutton, who is working with the DfE on industry engagement.  Anna will be able to take us on from the preliminary scene-setting and hopefully get WFF Members and Sponsors to the point where our questions have been answered sufficiently to start linking employers up with local FE colleges who are delivering the programme near you.

Register in advance for this webinar:
