TACKLING THE SKILLS SHORTAGE
"Resourcing and Skills in Cambridgeshire"
Join the HMA team and our very special guest, Simon Weston OBE, at the WATA training facility on Wednesday 15th July 2015. Simon is a strong believer in seeing the skills and expertise of ex-military personnel making the transition to the world of civilian Employment. We are also very lucky to have Julia Chippendale, the Managing Director of EAL Awards joining us to discuss improvements in skills qualifications
Huntingdonshire Manufacturers Association (HMA) events are different in that they are devised and promoted by a committee of passionate and committed local manufacturing based business people. AND they are entirely FREE.

We have always designed events to have a quality of subject matter that you wont find elsewhere. Like you, we value time and know that there are only so many events we can attend each month!
A consistent conversation topic being discussed by Huntingdonshire businesses like yours is the lack of skills and resources in our region. So where do you find staff with the the skills needed to reinforce and grow a business? Its becoming harder and harder ! How do our neighbouring counties acheive this and how can we improve ....
