New Alliance Formed to Avert Disaster

A new alliance of engineering and manufacturing firms has been launched in Scotland to avert looming “economic disaster” and grasp an “Industrial Revolution sized opportunity” worth hundreds of billions of pounds. Last month, a Scottish Engineering report warned that the Scottish economy was facing severe economic impact due to the skills crisis and urged instant remedial action. The Enginuity Alliance, spearheaded by skills charity Enginuity, is bringing together interested parties from across the sector to share best practice, generate discussion and influence policymakers on both sides of the border. At the launch event, chief executive of Scottish Engineering Paul Sheerin said: “Billions of pounds are at risk if the sector cannot supply skilled people to service the needs of major projects.” More information https://enginuity.org/the-alliance
