| 15 Mar 2007 - South East composites companies get set for £200,000 skills boost |
| The South East of England Development Agency (SEEDA) is providing £200,000 to fund an essential training programme that meets the needs of the composites industry, a high-growth, hi-tech sector which is critical to the economic success of the region. Employers in the sector have a pressing demand for the specialised training, which is not currently supplied by any of the local providers. Cogent is the national skills council for the composites sector, and through its research it identified an urgent need to upskill the composites sector workforce. It will lead on the development of the programme which will boost skills in the companies who sign up. |
