SUMMARY:Bridging Industry & Education - TLC - Breakfast Meeting
DESCRIPTION:If your business is asking: “Where will our skills come from in the next 5 years?” …then you need to be in the room” \n\n\n\n\nIf your business is asking: “Where will our skills come from in the next 5 years?” …then you need to be in the room“\nNorth East manufacturers are feeling the pressure — skills shortages\, retirements\, and a shrinking talent pipeline. \nOn 10th July (8–10am) we’re bringing HR leaders\, engineering managers\, and SME decision‑makers together at The Workplace\, Newton Aycliffe to do something about it. \nThis isn’t another talking shop. It’s the start of a practical\, employer‑driven solution where your challenges feed directly into colleges and training providers. If your business is asking: “Where will our skills come from in the next 5 years?” …then you need to be in the room. \nBreakfast • Networking • Real conversation • Real influence \nHosted by the Technical Learning Company (TLC) \nRegister Here
