Always welcome the opportunity to pen an article for Tank Storage Association #Insight magazine, and as ever great support from Nunzia Florio and of course my friends CMA who are always on hand with sage advice. This article though has a deeper drive, we know we have a skills shortage that will only continue to impact our sector, that is why it is so important we look at routes to develop the next generation of Operator Technicians into the sector, underpinning this with the development of career pathways. Aligned to this is the importance of ensuring that those within the sector also have the opportunity to develop against the same level as those joining the sector, this will ensure that skills across a wide breadth of the industry not only keep pace with the energy transition, but also exceed the competence requirements! #bulkstorage #terminals #energytransition #skillsdevelopment #apprenticeships #careers
🗣️"As the world makes advances through the energy transition, we will need young, imaginative, ambitious and well-trained operators who are able to adapt to an ever-changing future of fuel." ✔️In the latest issue of #Insight magazine, Reynolds Training Services Ltd writes about 'Hiring an apprentice: can you afford not to?' (pp. 22-23) ➡️ https://ow.ly/IWEE50Qj5YZ #bulkstorage #terminals #bulkliquids #tanks #Insightmag #apprenticeships #careers | John Reynolds CMIOSH
Always a pleasure, John. Personally, I'd advise that sage goes well with onion! 😂 But seriously - it was a real lightbulb moment when you explained that a lot of businesses are required to pay into the Apprenticeship Levy whether they have apprentices or not. That being so, it feels like a real lost opportunity if they don't at least consider getting their money's worth!
Your knowledge is the industry's power - always good to help you share it John Reynolds CMIOSH Reynolds Training Services Ltd!
