Employers on MetSkill
"For
the last ten years we have been lone voices, promoting training
in our industry; most companies paying lip service to investment-in-people.
There money is out there, albeit hidden in a hole trapped in a void
and encased in a vacuum. With MetSkill's help we have achieved more
in one year than we were able to achieve in ten.
"The development and growth of individuals
in our industry is an untapped source of growth, which will require
continuous promotion and the full support of an effective NTO to
realise. Without organisations like MetSkill, this industry will
fall behind its global competititors."
George D Bond, Director, H Williams & Sons
Ltd
June 2002
"Times
are extremely tough for metals companies, and manufacturing generally
at present and it is difficult for us as individual businesses to
look beyond the immediate problems facing us. But working more strategically
as a metals sector through MetSkill, gives employers the advantage
of benefiting from a collective industry approach and gaining access
to quality frameworks. Companies like my own have experienced real
improvements from introducing relevant industry skills development
in key areas such as communications and problem solving."
Stephen Tilsley, Managing Director, Metsec plc
