Select Committee e-forum Launched for UK Engineering Employers
(UK)
Summary
The Innovation, Universities, Science and Skills Select
Committee has launched an online e-forum for engineering employers
in the UK to contribute to their ongoing inquiry into
engineering. The e-forum is a quick and easy way to share
your views with the Select Committee and the wider public.
The current questions for debate are:
- What one thing could the Government do to help engineering
employers?
- What are the biggest challenges and opportunities facing
engineering companies?
- How easy is it to recruit the engineering staff you
need?
- Are you optimistic about the future of engineering in the
UK?
The e-forum can be accessed via the
Select Committee website here, and the
consultation will last until 24th October 2008.
Semta View
Semta is continuing to provide evidence to the ongoing
engineering inquiry. Lynn Tomkins appeared before the
Committee in May, and Semta have just submitted additional
evidence to their sub-inquiry into “engineering and
government”.
Semta represents the view of our employers across government and
the media. If you are an employer in the science,
engineering, or manufacturing technology sectors, we welcome your
views at policy@semta.org.uk
